How to edit `install.img`
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This HowTo describes how to extract, edit and rebuild the install.img
|
|
file of an SL6 release. This file is found in the distribution
|
|
toplevel `$basearch` directory e.g. in
|
|
`/afs/psi.ch/software/linux/dist/scientific/62/x86_64/images/` at our
|
|
site. It is loaded during the installation and brings up the
|
|
installation process.
|
|
|
|
The reason to edit the `install.img` in this example is the file
|
|
`/etc/anaconda.repos.d/sl.repo`, which references the original SL repos,
|
|
i.e. the anaconda installer will try to get RPMS from these external
|
|
repos during the installation even if we declare our local repos in
|
|
the kickstart config file. We want now that anaconda takes RPMS from
|
|
our local copies of the SL repos, because first the installation is
|
|
faster, second we do not depend on down times of the SL site.
