102 Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Embedded Linux
NOTE: If you choose to create a directory structure for the system-specific 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.
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 on
the
Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD
