How to make a custom ISO image

From Alpine Linux
Revision as of 15:52, 9 May 2020 by Sb1 (talk | contribs)

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.

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.
