40 Rebuilding Packages
The Dell-enabled path allows you to customize a DUP by using the
--rebuild option. The prerequisites for using the --rebuild option
are described in "Setting Up a Test System for Rebuilding a Package."
The Dell-enabled path is described by the flow diagram in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1. Dell-Enabled Path for Rebuilding Packages
The Dell-enabled path can be described in the following steps:
1
Download a DUP from support.dell.com.
2 When you try to apply the DUP to your system, the DUP application
discovers that your target system does not have a Dell-supported operating
system.
3 The DUP allows you to rebuild a customized package for your
unsupported operating system and issues a disclaimer that this customized
package is not supported or warranted.
