Mageia + ALCASAR (Mageiar) ISO builder
===================
Goal
----
The goal is to create a minimalist ISO image to install both Mageia and Alcasar with all its dependencies.
How it works
------------
The script lists the RPMs installed on a running ALCASAR in order to create a dedicated ISO file.
Once the ISO is done, one can boot on it and install the OS normally. The ALCASAR tarball is available in /root folder.
What it needs
-------------
The Mageia ISO image and ALCASAR tarball are to be placed in the `ressources` directory before running the script.
How to use
----------
Usage : build-iso.sh
What can be done
----------------
The ISO image seems to be already as light as it can be. With all the necessary packages, it weighs around 800 Mo.
Here is a list of interesting functionalities:
- if a needed RPM has not been updated, copy it from the Mageia iso file instead of download it from repository
- Use DrakX to install and configure Alcasar graphically
- Propose an automatic partition table suitable for Alcasar
