11 Creating Operating System Images
package
Subdirectory in which searches for packages occur. The directory is au-
tomatically initialized depending on the entries in the imageBuilder con-
figuration file /etc/opt/SLES/POS/AdminServer.conf. During this process,
symbolic links for all keys containing the partial string CD are created.
The value after the key in AdminServer.conf indicates the path to an
installation CD provided by SUSE. Four links per entry are created as
follows:
– SLESCD[n]-i586
Points to [Path]/suse/i586
– SLESCD[n]-noarch
Points to [Path]/suse/noarch
– SLESCD[n]-ul-i586
Points to [Path]/UnitedLinux/i586
– SLESCD[n]-ul-noarch
Points to [Path]/UnitedLinux/noarch
In the case of a CD set of seven SUSE LINUX Retail Solution CDs, for ex-
ample, twenty-eight symbolic links are created, but not all of them need
to point to an existing directory. If there is no package directory, a link to
the global /opt/SLES/POS/pac directory is made. For more information
about this, see the Section
script
Subdirectory that contains Bash scripts that are called after the installa-
tion of a package, primarily in order to remove the parts of a package
that are not needed for the cash register system.
config
Configuration file that indicates the image size, type, and base name.
The structure of the file corresponds to the format Key : Value.
The following keys are defined:
– size
Image size as a number followed by M or G standing for Megabyte
or Gigabyte.
Note: The scr supports the feature extending the image size auto-
matically to a calculated size, if the specified config size value is to
small. If the config size value plus the additional size needed to
build the image is more than 100MB, scr will abort with an error
message. Furthermore scr will not reduce the image size automati-
cally by design, because it must be possible to configure additional
space, for example, if custom scripts are run.
– type
The image type is restricted to ext2 or ext3 at the moment, al-
though different formats are possible, if necessary.
