DESCRIPTION

This is a tool to automatically install operating system into files that represent disk images. The input is an XML file representing the operating system and packages to be installed. By default (and by design), the first stage of the install only installs a JEOS (Just Enough Operating System); customization, including the installation of additional packages can also be done, but requires additional flags.

Note that oz-install does the actual installation using a combination of KVM and libvirt, so both of these must be available (and working) for oz-install to have a chance to succeed.

OPTIONS

-a <auto></auto> Use the user-provided auto installation file auto. By default, Oz will use a hard-coded auto-installation file (kickstart, preseed, sif, etc) to do a basic OS installation. Using this option, the user can provide an alternate auto-installation file to do the install. The caveat is that user-provided auto-installation files are more likely to cause installation errors, so this option should be used with caution.
