Add no-virt mode to livemedia-creator
This runs anaconda directly, using the --image install feature. The host system should be the same release as the target system in order to avoid unexpected problems.

HOW IT WORKS
|
||||
------------
|
||||
The --make-* switches define the final output. Currently only --make-iso
|
||||
is working.
|
||||
and --make-disk are working.
|
||||
|
||||
You then need to either pass --iso and --ks in order to create a disk image
|
||||
using virt-install, or --disk-image to use a disk image from a previous run

||||

it as well.

|
||||
ANACONDA IMAGE INSTALL
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
You can create images without using virt-install by passing --no-virt on the
|
||||
cmdline. This will use Anaconda's image install feature to handle the install.
|
||||
There are a couple of things to keep in mind when doing this:
|
||||
|
||||
1. It will be most reliable when building images for the same release that the
|
||||
host is running. Because Anaconda has expectations about the system it is
|
||||
running under you may encounter strange bugs if you try to build newer or
|
||||
older releases.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Make sure selinux is set to permissive or disabled. It won't install
|
||||
correctly with selinux set to enforcing yet.
|
||||
|
||||
3. It may totally trash your host. So far I haven't had this happen, but the
|
||||
possibility exists that a bug in Anaconda could result in it operating on
|
||||
real devices. I recommend running it in a virt or on a system that you can
|
||||
afford to lose all data from.
|
||||
|
||||
The logs from anaconda will be placed in an ./anaconda/ directory in either
|
||||
the current directory or in the directory used for --logfile
|
||||
|
||||
Example cmdline:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo livemedia-creator --make-iso --no-virt --ks=./fedora-livemedia.ks

DEBUGGING PROBLEMS

|
||||
disk image. Or you can pass --keep-image to keep it around after lorax is
|
||||
run.
|
||||
|
||||
Cleaning up aborted --no-virt installs can sometimes be accomplished by running
|
||||
the anaconda-cleanup script.
