102 Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Embedded Linux

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

Dell Systems Build and Update Utility

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.
