Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Embedded Linux 67
Figure 7-3. DTK System-Specific File Structure
Creating Operating System Installation Directories for Supported Linux Operating Systems
NOTE: The following procedures are provided as a best practices guideline for creating operating system
distribution folders compatible with the DTK sample scripts. For complete instructions on setting up an installation
directory structure for an unattended installation, see your operating system documentation.
For deployment of supported Linux operating systems, copy the ISO images for the operating system
installation to a folder on your network (for example, /linuxboot). This folder should be accessible after
DTK completes its tasks.
Also, copy the following into the /linuxboot folder:
• kernel image (from the Linux operating system CD)
•
initial ramdisk from the Installation and Server Management CD
See Figure 7-4 for a sample directory structure for deployment of a supported Linux operating system.
NOTE: If you choose to create a directory structure for the Linux installation files that is different from the one
suggested in this guide, be sure to carefully review and edit each sample script (where necessary) to reflect the
different directory structure.
