[opensuse-support] Where to go about openSuSE 15.2 installation image build process?
Hi, I might have asked similar before - if I did - I did not get anywhere. Could anyone point me to some useful resources/repo/mailingList about how/where is openSuSE 15.2 installation image put together? I would like to make fairly trivial modification to the upcoming installation media, so that I can use it for basic headless installation. There used to be mksusecd tool, but it looks like that it was last used for openSuSE 13.x series. I suspect that kiwi-NG maybe used to create installation media theses days, but I cannot find 15.2 installation media description. I also went through the mailing lists and OBS projects and I cannot find the 15.2 project. factory=thumbleweed .... so I am not sure where would be the best place to ask. Anyway, I have bunch of fairly inaccessible closet servers - it is not practical to attach a screen to them and they do not have remote management like Aspeed 2500 (cost + low power). At the same time, I would love to stay fairly aligned to to standard 15.2 distro and its fairly polished installation.

Educated guess: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Leap:15.2/000product

In this case did you consider autoyast? You could add control file to installation media and this likely requires much less efforts than rebuilding the whole DVD from scratch. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
Thanks for the location Andrei, It looks like the distro installation media are build by kiwi-ng Yes, I am hoping to use autoyast to control basic install to stand up the servers, then configure them with ansible remotely. Maybe I do not understand what you mean by adding control file - I do not believe that I could simply add/change the installation iso9660 image. I probably need to re-create the image with the changes. The basic idea is to add nfs/http://autoyastFile to boot/install options, change the default boot order to install and add post install script (to shutdown instead of reboot). I will take any sensible advice ... no need to reinvent the wheel for a trivial change such as changing boot option on installation media Thanks again, Tomas On Sun, 2020-06-14 at 07:29 +0300, Andrei Borzenkov wrote:
