To build an OpenPOWER Host OS ISO file, you'll first need to follow the instructions here to have a set of packages available.
If you wish an installable ISO with all the built packages and all packages groups available during the installation, just execute:
./host_os.py --verbose build-images --iso
This assumes the packages are at their default location at
result/repository_config/latest
. The created ISO will be available in the
result directory, and may be installed using those
instructions.
See --help
for more options.
./host_os.py build-images --help
To create and add packages to installable environments, modify the
installable_environments
option in the configuration. Each entry is an
environment name that will show during installation in the "Software selection"
screen and each item listed inside is a package that will be installed by that
environment.
To build a reduced ISO file, list the groups you wish available in the ISO in
the iso_repo_packages_groups
option. If there are groups set by
installable_environments
option that are not available in the ISO, they
will not show up during the installation.
