Automated Installation of Linux Systems Using YaST Dirk Hohndel and Fabian Herschel – SuSE Rhein/Main AG ABSTRACT The paper describes how to allow a customized automated installation of Linux. This is possible via CDRom, network or tape, using a special boot disk that describes the system that should be set up and either standard SuSE Linux CDs, customized install CDs, an appropriately configured installation server, or a tape backup of an existing machine. A control file on the boot disk and additional (optional) control files on the install medium specify which settings should be used and which packages should be installed. This includes settings like language, key table, network setup, hard disk partitioning, packages to install, etc. After giving a quick overview of the syntax and capabilities of this installation method, considerations about how to plan the automated installation at larger sites are presented.

M.Curie-Skłodowskiej 1, 20-031 Lublin, Poland 2Institute of Physics, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Pl. M.Curie-Skłodowskiej 1, 20-031 Lublin, Poland Abstract We present an introduction to LiveCD system remastering based on a prospective UnionFS filesystem. 1. Introduction Regarding increasing popularity of the LiveCD distributions1 of a Linux system we compile the essential knowledge of how the LiveCD works (based on many rather scattered documents [1-8]) to facilitate preparation of the specialized distributions of systems based on this idea. We describe one of the most efficient ways of system architecture managing using UnionFS. All steps of the procedure were tested using laptops which have often more exotic hardware than desktopUMCS computers. The possibility of booting a PC from a CD/DVD ROM has raised several possibilities, including the most important one, namely, the possibility of running the required system or programs independently of the actual operational system, configuration, and resources of the PC. The self-configuring CD/DVD ROMs can be also useful for administrative purposes and as the rescue disks. The LiveCD distributions allow for cheap and effective use of the PCs as the special servers, routers and other active elements over the network. This idea of the LiveCD systems is based on the possibility opened by the El Torito extension to the standard ISO 9660 system and the Linux kernel capabilities.
