config
The
config
directory is an optional directory that may contain shell scripts to be
executed after all packages have been installed. You could, for example manipulate
a package to remove parts that are not needed for the operating system by adding
the relevant script to the
config
directory. Make sure the name of your bash
scripts resembles the package name specified in
config.xml
.
repo
The
repo
directory is an optional directory that could hold any RPM packages
that do not originate from one of your preconfigured repositories, but which you
want to add manually. Just place the RPMs below this directory and reference them
by
<package name="
your_package
">
in the
config.xml
file.
root
The
root
directory contains files, scripts and directories to customize the image
after the installation of all packages.
cdboot
The
cdboot
directory is an optional directory holding all the data needed to create
a bootable CD. It includes the
isolinux.cfg
,
isolinux.msg
, and
isolinux
.sh
files needed to build an ISO image from a pre-built CD tree. This subdirectory
is needed for any image of the type
initrd-isoboot
.
