XT-CUSTOMIZE-IMAGE(8)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				     XT-CUSTOMIZE-IMAGE(8)

NAME

       xt-customize-image - Customize a freshly installed copy of GNU/Linux

SYNOPSIS

	 xt-customize-image [options]

	 Help Options:
	  --help     Show this scripts help information.
	  --manual   Read this scripts manual.
	  --version  Show the version number and exit.

	 Debugging Options:
	  --verbose  Be verbose in our execution.

	 Mandatory Options:
	  --location The location of the new installation
	  --dist     The name of the distribution which has been installed.

	 All other options from xen-create-image, such as the new IP address(es)
	to give to the new instance, will be passed as environmental variables.

NOTES

	 This script is invoked by xen-create-image after it has created a
	fresh installation of Linux withing a temporary location.

	 This script will be invoked with a full copy of the arguments from
	xen-create-image in its environment, along with several command line
	arguments.

	 The command line arguments which are mandatory are:

	  --location  - The temporary installation root of the new install
	  --dist      - The distribution which has been installed.

HOOK SCRIPTS

	 The distribution name is used to locate an appropriate collection
	of scripts, or hooks, to execute to do the actual customisation.

	 The hooks will each be executed with a single parameter which is
	the directory path to the new instance.  This argument is taken from
	the --location option.

	 For the distribution named 'foo' the scripts will be loaded and
	executed from '/usr/lib/xen-tools/foo.d'.  Each executable will
	be loaded and executed in sorted order.
