Configuration
To create a system image of a graphical operating system without a desktop en-
vironment, use the following command:
mkdir /var/lib/SLEPOS/system/graphical-default
cp -R /usr/share/kiwi/image/SLEPOS/graphical-3/* \
/var/lib/SLEPOS/system/graphical-default/
mkdir /var/lib/SLEPOS/system/image/graphical-default
4a Check whether the value of defaultroot points to the proper directory
for the chroot environment needed to build the image. In this case, it would
be /var/lib/SLEPOS/system/chroot/graphical-default.
4b Check whether the value of defaultdestination points to the appro-
priate destination folder to hold the final image. In this case, it would be
var/lib/SLEPOS/system/images/graphical-default.
4c Add the paths to the repositories needed to build your image. If you are
building your image from the standard SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of
Service package sources, specify /var/lib/SLEPOS/dist/base
_distribution after you have copied the sources to these directories
using poscdtool or poscopytool (refer to Chapter 11, Managing Image Source
Files (page 151) for details).
