[OpenIndiana-discuss] Building an Installer

[Gabriele Bulfon]

Thanks ;)
I followed instructions as here:
http://wiki.openindiana.org:8080/display/oi/Creating+Distribution+Images
and it seem to work fine even on dev-il.
The only problem I see is the repo: creating the iso by downloading all the packages from
a remote repo sounds very busy.
Sorry for the silly question, but....maybe I should create a clone of the repo once? How?
Then...how do I update the repo without recreating from scratch?

Use it under the OI environment.

Thanx a lot for all the suggestions.
A last question before starting: should I use it under OI or under a bare IllumOS?

Yes OI is built with distro-constructor and caimen. If you do manage get
some experience with it, it would be great to write up your notes on the
wiki.
Customizing the installer works, but its currently a bit hidden, so any
extra info you could add would be appreciated.
The oi-dev IRC channel and ML will also be able to help you out, as there
the devs who use it to produce the main OI installers with
distro-constructor hang out.
Bye,
Deano

Yes, I remember looking at it for OpenSolaris.
Is it still usable on IllumOS/OI? I remember it didn't work correctly for
some reasons on IllumOS.
Is OI built with it?

Hi, don't know if this is a silly question, but I'd like to know if there is
any chance to have an "installer tool" for bulding a customized installer of
openindiana that would contain what I need by default, including additional
software of mine.
That's what the Distribution Constructor tool is used for.
