NAME

osinfo−install−script − generate a script for automated installation

SYNOPSIS

osinfo-install-script [OPTIONS...] MEDIA−FILE|OS−ID

Generate a script suitable for performing an automated installation of "MEDIA_FILE" or "OS−ID". "MEDIA_FILE" should be a path to an installer or live media (typically an ISO file). "OS−ID" should be a URI identifying the operating system, or its short ID.

By default a script will be generated for a "JEOS" style install.

OPTIONS

−−profile=NAME

Choose the installation script profile. Defaults to "jeos", but can also be "desktop", or a site specific profile name

−−installation−source=NAME

Set the installation source to be used with the installation script. Defaults to "media", but can also be "network".

−−config=key=value

Set the configuration parameter "key" to "value".

−−config−file=config−file

Set the configurations parameters according to the config-file passed.

Note that use of −−config−file is strongly recommended if the user or admin passwords need to be set. Providing passwords directly using −−config= is insecure as the password is visible to all processes and users on the same host.

CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
