Installer

[source:/installer Lintrack installer] is based on Slackware installer. In the build process, we download its initrd, [source:/installer/initrd overwrite some files in it], add [source:/installer/cdrom/isolinux ISOLINUX configuration] and [source:/trunk/pkg/linux our kernel].

The actual installer is [source:/installer/initrd/usr/lib/setup stored in initrds /usr/lib/setup]. The [source:/installer/initrd/usr/lib/setup/package.list package.list file] defines which packages to install and in what order.

Creating an ISO image

  1. Make sure you have mkisofs installed.
