Running Deployment Scripts and
RPMs Using DTK and Embedded
Linux
This chapter provides best practices, procedures, and scenarios for using the
Deployment Toolkit (DTK) to perform pre-operating system configuration
tasks and to install supported operating systems on supported Dell systems.
After you have populated the deployment directory structure with all necessary
files and carefully edited the deployment scripts and configurations files, you are
ready to begin the final stage of the deployment process. Before running the
deployment, however, you need to create specific deployment media to facilitate
your chosen deployment method. The common deployment scenarios are:
• Deployment using Dell-provided embedded Linux.
• Deployment using customized embedded Linux.
• Using a third-party deployment solution framework.
