List All Image Descriptions; Creating A Standard Image - Novell SLRS 8 Admin Manual

11 Creating Operating System Images
For image changes that involve the addition or removal of packages, thus
changing the features of the image, the minor number is incremented
and the release number is reset. The config file remains unchanged.
For image changes that change the size of the image file (change to the
config file), the major number is incremented.
The example below shows the image description directories for the standard
images described in Section
browser-1.1.1 desktop-1.1.1 disknetboot-1.1.7 \
cdboot-1.1.1 java-1.1.1 minimal-1.1.7 netboot-1.1.7
Note: SUSE recommends to use /opt/SLES/space as the destination path
for the creation of your own POS images. For further information about the
partitioning of the administration server refer to Table

11.1 List All Image Descriptions

The first thing to start with is to check the available image descriptions and
versions from which imageBuilder can create standard images. To get the list,
execute the command scr --list. This returns something that resembles:

28-Jul 17:52:52 <1> : Image: minimal
28-Jul 17:52:52 <1> : Image: netboot
28-Jul 17:52:52 <1> : Image: disknetboot
28-Jul 17:52:52 <1> : Image: java
28-Jul 17:52:52 <1> : Image: cdboot
28-Jul 17:52:52 <1> : Image: desktop

11.2 Creating a Standard Image

This example shows how to create the standard minimal image with the ver-
sion 1.1.7 in the working directory myImages. Do this with the following
command line:
scr --prepare --image minimal-1.1.7 \
--build --destdir myImages
The example below shows how to enable support for the serial console using
the feature option for the minimal image:
scr --prepare --image minimal-1.1.7 \
--build --destdir compiled --feature serial_console
