Not trying to make it harder. I've already successfully taken the existing iso apart by similar methods to what you show below. Loopback mount, unsquash the squashfs.img file to obtain the rootfs.img file, loopback mount that, etc. I have done all that, and made my changes, and glued it all back together again, and it even does what I want. But I regard that approach as a kludge. Sort of like using a binary editor to modify a program rather than recompiling from source. It works, but it isn't pretty. What I really want to do is learn how the rootfs.img was created in the first place so I can regenerate it "the right way". And I am more than willing to write it up for the wiki. But first, I need to find the tools and scripts that are used, so I can understand the process. > http://www.owlriver.com/issa/mk-grub-iso.sh.text > http://www.owlriver.com/issa/isolinux-howto.text > > The initrd has what you are interested in changing (perhaps) > to drop in a ks.cfg ... the rest -- can all be copied out of a > loop-mounted existing centos CD and dumped in the relevant > directory (./isolinux/), as part of the phase for the mkisofs > step > > cd to a directory with an ISO in it > mkdir loop > sudo mount -o loop CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-Minimal.iso loop/ > cd loop/ > [herrold@centos-6 loop]$ ls -l isolinux/ | \ > awk {'print $5"\t"$9'} > > 2048 boot.cat > 84 boot.msg > 281 grub.conf > 34935964 initrd.img > 24576 isolinux.bin > 3032 isolinux.cfg > 176500 memtest > 186 splash.png > 2438 TRANS.TBL > 33127644 upgrade.img > 155792 vesamenu.c32 > 4902656 vmlinuz > > There is a bit more if EFI support is wanted, but again, read > and experiment > > - -- Russ herrold > > - -- > end > ================================== > .-- -... ---.. ... -.- -.-- > Copyright (C) 2014 R P Herrold > herrold@xxxxxxxxxxxx > My words are not deathless prose, > but they are mine. > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) > > iEYEARECAAYFAlRSg2UACgkQMRh1QZtklkTN0QCgoUwzOjr3KPe7/OWKr5K1iU/G > iycAoJTNHNk7h8TEqWKkttU9QZGi2QUY > =Yh6Q > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-docs mailing list > CentOS-docs@xxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
