Mageia + ALCASAR (Mageiar) ISO builder
===================
Goal
----
The goal is to create a minimalist ISO image to install both Mageia and Alcasar with all its dependencies.
How it works
------------
The script lists the RPMs installed on a running ALCASAR in order to create a dedicated ISO file.
Once the ISO is done, one can boot on it and install the OS normally. The ALCASAR tarball is available in /root folder.
What it needs
-------------
10G of freespace on /home
The Mageia ISO image and ALCASAR tarball are to be placed in the `ressources` directory
Run & adapt the command "xorriso -indev Mageia-8-x86_64.iso -report_el_torito as_mkisofs" to retreive the options of the xorriso command of the script "build-iso.sh"
How to use
----------
Usage : build-iso.sh
This script can be run several times (the needed rpms are downloaded only one time)
What can be done
----------------
The ISO image seems to be already as light as it can be. With all the necessary packages, it weighs around 900 Mo.
Here is a list of interesting functionalities:
- Use DrakX to install and configure Alcasar graphically
- Propose an automatic partition table suitable for Alcasar
