So, in CentOS-6, we have the capability to churn our almost arbitrary number of 'spins' at buildtime and have them tested / released in sync with the main distro ( eg. the minimal install iso set ). Have an interesting idea that could potentially appeal to more than just yourself and your kitchen sink ? why not do this as a part of the CentOS buildprocess and have the results pushed in sync with the main distro. We could, should there be a need, even have rpms that are not a part of the distro ( eg. somethings from an external third party repo ). There would be some stuff that needs resolved and make sure all licenses etc are in place, and some level of assurances are in place for upgrade path etc. But it can be done, fairly easily. > What tools do you use to create these images? we have only ever used anaconda. There are various other tools that are around, some more popular at various points in time than others - but within the CentOS space - we have only used anaconda. > Is there some documentation on building a custom iso spin? > I would also like to be able to drive the tools. What does that mean 'drive the tools' ? - KB
