I was able to create the Kickstart file as usual, since I use it for PXE installs for at least 10 years, but the major problem now is building the ISO with the necessary files. I?ve came across a tool named Lorax, but I was not able to create a custom ISO from DVD?s. It only works when point to mirrors, and this is a time consuming task. Another problem is that Lorax does not seems to care about the /usr/share/lorax/product folder to create a custom Anaconda with the embedded kickstart file on /usr/share/anaconda/interactive-defaults.ks. The small ISO generated by Lorax lacks local repositories and I was unable to find the appropriate documentation on how to build this scenario. So it generates a boot only install that must be done over the Internet. At this moment I?m running Lorax on a CentOS install, I?ve got RHEL licenses too, but to keep it simple I just went with CentOS. I think this is irrelevant information but it?s just for the sake of completion. With genisoimage I was able to add the custom product.img file, that I?ve generated by hand with cpio, on the ISO but I was not able to solve the local repos problem. There are packages that I would like to add to the install media, like Ansible, but they are available only on the Extras repository and I?m unsure on how to do this. Just wondering if createrepo and yumdownloader are necessary... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, V.

I would like to create and ISO of CentOS with the "Server with GUI? environment group and Ansible, which is available on Extras repository. There?s additional branding on the installer and removal of options in Anaconda too, for example: I don?t want the package selection screen. This is handled with product.img sending a premade /etc/sysconfig/anaconda file with a similar content like: [root at centos7 sysconfig]# cat anaconda [SourceSpoke] visited = 1 [SoftwareSelectionSpoke] visited = 1 [UserSpoke] visited = 1 > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Remix > https://www.happyassassin.net/2016/02/15/pungi-4-the-new-generation-of-the-fedora-compose-tools-and-what-it-means-for-qa/ I?m looking at it.

I don't use any external tools. I add in the new packages into a directory at the top level of the disc image and modify the Packages directory if I need to. then I run createrepo on each "package" directory createrepo --update -d -g comps.xml ${repo} trying to remember this, so verify it's correct. if you want to use the comps/groups file, use the -g option, otherwise ignore it. In my kickstart, I add in the additional package directories as new repos for yum to find the packages. after adding ANY rpms, you will need to re-run createrepo on each folder and add them as repos in the ks file IF you want anaconda to be able to install them. otherwise, you can mount in the post and run rpm commands directly on each command. to get additional data off of the disc, you will also need to ensure you "mount" the disc/source somewhere the kickstart can access the data and your anaconda/isolinux options must be set correctly, so you have to get inst.ks and inst.stage2 setup properly. inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=${DRIVELABEL} inst.loglevel=debug lang=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=us inst.ks=cdrom:/dev/cdrom:/ks/${ksname}.ks NOTE: inst.stage2 uses a label designation. this LABEL value MUST be exact. When you generate your iso, usb drive, whatever, it MUST have the label exactly matching the DRIVELABEL value or it won't install. Also, you can use inst.upgrade to point to an upgraded anaconda Product.img file which can contain rebrading/anaconda customizations. Here's a kickstart snippet that covers a lot of ground: """"""" #PRE Section ksDeviceSource=$(sed 's/ /\n/g' /proc/cmdline | grep '^inst.ks='|cut -f1 -d:|cut -f2 -d'=') if (grep -q "ks=hd:LABEL" /proc/cmdline) then ksDeviceName=$(sed 's/ /\n/g' /proc/cmdline | grep '^inst.ks='|cut -f2 -d":" | cut -f2 -d"=") ksDeviceBaseName=`blkid -L $ksDeviceName` ksDeviceBaseName=`basename $ksDeviceBaseName` else #using a normal dev name, not a LABEL ksDeviceName=$(sed 's/ /\n/g' /proc/cmdline | grep '^inst.ks='|cut -f2 -d":") ksDeviceBaseName=`basename $ksDeviceName` fi if [[ -z "${repo}" ]]; then #Are we using a usb drive? if [[ "${ksDeviceName}" == "hd" ]]; then repo="hd" else # If no repo was specified, then we must be installing from disc repo="cdrom" fi fi # Variable for the repo line: srcLoc="/tmp" # Mount the source repo mkdir -p /tmp/source repotype=$(echo "${repo}" | cut -d: -f1) if [[ "${repotype}" == "nfs" ]]; then source=$(echo "${repo}" | cut -d: -f2-) mount -t nfs -o nolock "${source}" /tmp/source elif [[ "${repotype}" == "cdrom" ]]; then echo "cdrom" >> /tmp/pre.ks # Re-bind the existing mount otherwise we'll get errors with some devices ### WARNING: RHEL 7 anaconda now mounts to /run/install/repo. /mnt/stage2 is gone. ### it's possible that we no longer need to do this mount, but hey, then we'd have to change A LOT! mount --bind /run/install/repo /tmp/source elif [[ "${repotype}" == "hd" ]]; then echo "harddrive --partition=$ksDeviceBaseName --dir=/" >> /tmp/pre.ks # Re-bind the existing mount otherwise we'll get errors with some devices # I am not sure if we need to do the next mount with USB/HD. # NOTE: the next line will not work if we expand to multiple iso(s). tmpDIR=$(mktemp -d) mount -L $ksDeviceName $tmpDIR mount -o loop $tmpDIR/imagename*.iso /tmp/source srcLoc="/tmp" #mount --bind /tmp/source /mnt/source fi #set the repos here. cat << EOF > /tmp/repos.ks repo --name="ELRepo" --baseurl=file://$srcLoc/source/ELRepo --cost=410000 repo --name="EPEL" --baseurl=file://$srcLoc/source/EPEL --cost=400000 repo --name="Extras" --baseurl=file://$srcLoc/source/Extras --cost=500000 repo --name="Custom" --baseurl=file://$srcLoc/source/Custom --cost=500000 repo --name="Optional" --baseurl=file://$srcLoc/source/Optional --cost=350000 repo --name="Supplementary" --baseurl=file://$srcLoc/source/Supplementary --cost=360000 repo --name="Workstation" --baseurl=file://$srcLoc/source/Workstation --cost=330000 repo --name="Packages" --baseurl=file://$srcLoc/source/Packages --cost=300000 EOF ########## End Pre Section ############ ####Post section###### # This is the First Post script, # copy things that are needed in chrooted Posts to where they can be found. source /tmp/cmdline #you won't use these three lines probably cp -p /tmp/cmdline /mnt/sysimage/tmp/cmdline cp -p /tmp/cmdline /mnt/sysimage/root/cmdline # Re-mount the source for the post-scripting {{ m.export_cmdline() }} #This is a JINJA operator, you would need to add in the mount command here if not using JINJA ksDeviceSource=$(sed 's/ /\n/g' /proc/cmdline | grep '^ks='|cut -f1 -d:|cut -f2 -d'=') if (grep -q "ks=hd:LABEL" /proc/cmdline) then ksDeviceName=$(sed 's/ /\n/g' /proc/cmdline | grep '^ks='|cut -f2 -d":" | cut -f2 -d"=") ksDeviceBaseName=`blkid -L $ksDeviceName` ksDeviceBaseName=`basename $ksDeviceBaseName` else #using a normal dev name, not a LABEL ksDeviceName=$(sed 's/ /\n/g' /proc/cmdline | grep '^ks='|cut -f2 -d":") ksDeviceBaseName=`basename $ksDeviceName` fi if [[ -z "${repo}" ]]; then #Are we using a usb drive? if [[ "${ksDeviceName}" == "hd" ]]; then repo="hd" else # If no repo was specified, then we must be installing from disc repo="cdrom" fi fi # Mount the source repo mkdir -p /tmp/source repotype=$(echo "${repo}" | cut -d: -f1) if [[ "${repotype}" == "nfs" ]]; then source=$(echo "${repo}" | cut -d: -f2-) mount -t nfs -o nolock "${source}" /tmp/source elif [[ "${repotype}" == "cdrom" ]]; then echo "" #TODO: this is a legacy item that needs removed.... later #mount $(cat /tmp/source) /tmp/source elif [[ "${repotype}" == "hd" ]]; then tmpDIR=$(mktemp -d) mount -L $ksDeviceName $tmpDIR #at this point, /tmp/isodir is the device that is mounted. useit! mount -o loop $tmpDIR/imagename*.iso /tmp/source fi # Make the source repo available in the chroot mkdir -p /mnt/sysimage/tmp/source mount --bind /tmp/source /mnt/sysimage/tmp/source """""""""""""##### End Post Section ########## here's the genisoimage command: genisoimage -r -v \ -V "LABELNAME.x86_64" -A "${label}" -cache-inodes -J -l \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ -o "${isoLocation}${filename}" disc pushd ${isoLocation} >> /dev/null # if you want to use a usb drive, then next part is mandatory: #make sure the iso is bootable on USB devices isohybrid ${filename} implantisomd5 ${filename} Apparently, you can use xorriso, which contains an argument for running isohybrid. hope that helps.
