Hello,

Well, since the 12.1 is out, I can focus on medical. Until now, openSUSE medical live cd was out with SUSE Studio. There's a medical repository that can be added and also some programs that can be installed. The user must setup mysql and then install the programs correctly.

I was told that this can be done by KIWI. I read a lot of documentation. First of all, I didn't understand what <ImageDescriptionPath> means. I got this from the portal: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KIWI_Cookbook_Start_Cooking

So I read the manual http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=kiwi;a=blob;f=doc/kiwi.pdf

and it says something like config.xml file and the package that I want to be installed, I must add the repository and then the package eg:

<repository type="rpm-md"/> <source path="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/medical/openSUSE_11.4"/> </repository>

after that make sure you have added the package in the list

<packages type="image"/> <package name="openemr"/> </packages>

The same thing I get from LiveSystem here http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KIWI_Cookbook_LiveSystem

So as far as I understand (since my major is medical and not technical), this shows how to install the program but without being setup (with mysql etc).

My question is what is the way to do that? What is the way to make a livecd from the already installed system with the software all set to be in use?

I think KIWI is rather manageable. IIRC, if you have an appliance set up in Suse Studio, you can ask it to export a KIWI description of the appliance. Then, after some fiddling to tell what repositories you need and any other package changes you may wish to do, you can build the image locally with kiwi. An alternative it to start with one of the pre-defined kiwi configurations, and add what you want. It could be as simple as adding, in the config.xml file. the repository and packages you want added. As to MySQL: there are hooks in kiwi that allow you to run scripts/programs. These can be used to set up things specific to your needs. Or, you can build your appliance in two steps: the first makes the released image with programs and all. The second takes that image and packages it for distribution. In between these two steps. you can mount the image and do whatever you feel is needed. Like initializing MySQL.

Thanks Stathis

The medical appliance is already made by SUSE Studio. I surely can take the KIWI file from there.

I would start with that if I were you.

I must setup MySQL (user-pass) and then setup the program (openEMR). Then this can be made a LiveCD. Where can I find information about that?

You mean setting up MySQL and OpenEMR? That is beyond me, I would think that mysql would be some command line control. That could be in a script that kiwi runs each time you make a new LiveCD image.

I wonder, why do all this and not get the installed system I have?

What is your installed system?
