Part III Customizing installation images #

The clone-master-clean-up tool that ships with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop makes it possible to remove data from the disk that you do not want to include in a clone. This chapter describes how to use the tool.

mksusecd is a useful tool for creating a customized installation image. Use it to modify the regular SUSE Linux Enterprise installation images, add or remove files, create a minimal network installation image, customize boot options or software repositories, and create a minimal boot image as an alternative to booting a system from a PXE server.

You can customize the standard SUSE Linux Enterprise installation images by editing a file in the installation ISO image, media.1/products. Add modules and extensions to create a single customized installation image. Then copy your custom image to a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive to create a customized bootable installation medium. See the SUSE Best Practices paper on How to Create a Custom Installation Medium for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 for complete instructions.
