|
<p>Create a kickstart like you normally would, kickstart documentation can be

<a class="reference external" href="https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">found here</a>, including the
|

<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">url</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">repo</span></code> commands. If you are creating a DVD and only need the
|
||
|
|
content on the DVD you can use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cdrom</span></code> command to install without a
|
||
|
|
network connection. Then run <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mkksiso</span></code> like this:</p>

<p>This will create a new iso with the kickstart in the root directory, and the

kernel cmdline will have <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">inst.ks=...</span></code> added to it so that it will be

executed when the iso is booted (be careful not to boot on a system you don't

<p>You can add repo directories to the iso using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--add</span> <span class="pre">/PATH/TO/REPO/</span></code>, make

sure it contains the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">repodata</span></code> directory by running <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">createrepo_c</span></code> on it
|

first. In the kickstart you can refer to the directories (and files) on the iso
|

using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">file:///run/install/repo/DIRECTORY/</span></code>. You can then use these repos in

<h2>Create a liveimg boot.iso<a class="headerlink" href="#create-a-liveimg-boot-iso" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

<p>You can use the kickstart <a class="reference external" href="https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#liveimg">liveimg command</a>,
|
||
|
|
to install a pre-generated disk image or tar to the system the iso is booting

on.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Create a disk image or tar with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">livemedia-creator</span></code>,
|
||
|
|
make sure the image includes tools expected by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">anaconda</span></code>, as well as the
|
||
|
|
kernel and bootloader support. In <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span></code> use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">liveimg-tar</span></code>
|
||
|
|
image type. If you plan to install it to a UEFI machine make sure to include
|
||
|
|
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">grub2-efi</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">efibootmgr</span></code> in the blueprint.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Add the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">root.tar.xz</span></code> file to the iso using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--add</span> <span class="pre">/PATH/TO/ROOT.TAR.XZ</span></code>,
|
||
|
|
and in the kickstart reference it with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">liveimg</span></code> command like this:</p>

</pre></div>
|

</div>

<p>It is also a good idea to use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--checksum</span></code> argument to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">liveimg</span></code> to be

sure the file hasn't been corrupted:</p>

|

|
|
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mkksiso</span></code> first examines the system to make sure the tools it needs are installed,
|
||
|
|
it will work with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">xorrisofs</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mkisofs</span></code> installed. It mounts the source iso,
|
||
|
|
and copies the directories that need to be modified to a temporary directory.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It then modifies the boot configuration files to include the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">inst.ks</span></code> command,
|
||
|
|
and checks to see if the original iso supports EFI. If it does it regenerates the
|
||
|
|
EFI boot images with the new configuration, and then runs the available iso creation
|
||
|
|
tool to add the new files and directories to the new iso. If the architecture is
|
||
|
|
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x86_64</span></code> it will also make sure the iso can be booted as an iso or from a USB
|
||
|
|
stick (hybridiso).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The last step is to update the iso checksums so that booting with test enabled
|
||
|
|
will pass.</p>
