+# ##  Hacking on this image ###
+# This kickstart is processed using Anaconda-in-ImageFactory (via Koji typically),
+# but you can run imagefactory locally too.
+#
+# To do so, testing local changes, first you'll need a TDL file.  I store one here:
+# https://pagure.io/fedora-atomic/raw/master/f/fedora-atomic-rawhide.tdl
+#
+# Then, once you have imagefactory and imagefactory-plugins installed, run:
+#
+#   ksflatten -c fedora-modular-base[-minimal].ks -o fedora-modular-base-test.ks
+#   imagefactory --debug target_image --template /path/to/fedora-atomic-rawhide.tdl --parameter offline_icicle true --file-parameter install_script $(pwd)/fedora-modular-base-test.ks modular
