48 Setting Up a Directory Structure for Deployment
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 DTK sample scripts.
For complete instructions on setting up an installation directory structure for an
unattended installation, see your operating system documentation.
For deployment on supported Linux operating systems, copy the ISO images
for the operating system installation to a folder on your network (for example,
/linuxboot). This folder must be accessible after DTK completes its tasks.
Also, copy the following into the /linuxboot folder:
• kernel image (from the Linux operating system media)
•
initial ramdisk from the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility on
the
Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD
For a sample directory structure for deployment on a supported Linux
operating system, see Figure 4-3.
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.
