August 3rd, 2007

Jiri Suchomel has created YaST module that makes creating KIWI images breeze, here are the steps to create your own live distro. As mentioned earlier, on other posts, you can choose to create Xen and other virtual machine images too.
The module is quite self explanatory, but here are the steps anyway.
Run yast2 product-creator after installing the YaST module.
Select the image you want to build.
After adding additional repositories like Guru, packman, nvidia and others Select patterns/packages you want on your distro.
You can add default users and that is about it, click on “Create ISO” and you have your own distribution with all the goodies you need.
The module is in very early stage of development, but it clearly shows the promise of making system imaging approachable to everyday user. Bugs reports, enhancement request can be made to Jiri Suchomel, see http://en.opensuse.org/KIWI for details.
Have fun!
