NAME
osinfo-install-script - generate a script for automated installation
SYNOPSIS
osinfo-install-script [
OPTIONS...] MEDIA-FILE|OS-ID
DESCRIPTION
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.
