Creating Operating System Installation Directories For Systems Running 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 systems running 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 the following figure:
