Operating Systems Linux How to customize installation DVD/CD of Linux ? Post 302172166 by drewrockshard on Monday 3rd of March 2008 12:15:46 AM

I don't think you can actually do this (almost like slipstreaming a package into the source). I'm sure there's some sort of hard way of doing so that developers of that distro could work out, but getting them to do that (especially with websense) is probably out of the question. However, if you do a network install or for this matter, what would be called a kickstart install, then you could probably actually do it running post-scripting shell scripts. Meaning, that you could write a shell script that would execute (and install) websense after your system installs the OS.

Best of luck,
Drew

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
