How to make a custom ISO image: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:52, 9 May 2020

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 cause mkinitfs to create the defaults for the live image.

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.
