Re: "Modifying /etc/os-release for re-branding?"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

If you are creating a Fedora Remix, you'll need to remove the fedora-
release package, which provides the `/etc/os-release` file. fedora-
logos will also need to be removed. 

If you want to modify and add your own /etc/os-release info, it would
probably be best to create your own <remix>-release package based off
fedora-release, replacing what you need with your own information. If
you want any further specific guidance on Remixes, the Fedora Remixes
mailing list would be better suited. 



Hope this helps,
- Tim Zabel
