.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
livemedia-creator uses Anaconda, kickstart and Lorax to create bootable media
|
|
that use the same install path as a normal system install. It can be used to
|
|
make live isos, bootable (partitioned) disk images and filesystem images for
|
|
use with virtualization.
|
|
|
|
The general idea is to use virt-install to install into a disk image and then
|
|
use the disk image to create the bootable media.
|
|
|
|
livemedia-creator --help will describe all of the options available. At the
|
|
minimum you need:
|
|
|
|
--make-iso to create a final bootable .iso
|
|
--iso to specify the Anaconda install media to use with virt-install
|
|
--ks is the kickstart to use to install the system
|
|
|
