One way to completely re-build custom images is to use a script like alpine-make-vm-image.
- If you want to make a customized installer, you need to create
.default_boot_services
which will causemkinitfs
to create the defaults for the live image.
But there is also an alternative: Commiting and loading ISO image customizations
Booting an ISO image with local customizations
- From dedicated boot media, obviously.
- (Example included:) Booting and customizing an ISO image with an .apkovl in a Qemu virtual machine.
- Using e.g. Debian's grub-imageboot package and booting .iso files directly, instead of partitions.
