See www.remastersys.com for some more information. > You could also just provide your software as a repository to install on top of CentOS. ISOs are so 20th Century now anyway. If you want your software to be provided in a working way, create a KVM application image (can be installed on a VM host) and an AWS type image (most cloud stacks can use that). Then also provide a repo (and ISO if you insist) of your packages to install on top of CentOS. The added benefit of this approach. Your users can use your repo against RHEL, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Scientific Linux as well as CentOS ... AND ... you only need to serve YOUR files while the other project (CentOS, RHEL, OEL, SL) hosts all the os files and security updates. Four OS options instead of one and someone else manages all the packages for you except the ones you create that are different. Looks like win-win for you. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
