Creating a centos based appliance
Posted: 2010/04/02 20:17:02
hi,
i have been looking a way to create a centos linux appliance ( trixbox , asterisk@home or fusionpbx ). Here is the situation:
I have installed Centos 5.4 and then on top of that i have been installing many softwares over the time ( like pbx system , web console , billing etc.) and now it has come to a quite stable stage. the problem is i have to move this installation to another machine with different hardware. even have to install it on multiple systems. the idea is to create a bootable linux iso of the current machine with all the softwares so i can simply put it in a different machine and make it install and run without much fuss.
i am looking for a way to create a linux appliance from my current installation of centos so i can move it to any other machine and make it run . I was suggested kickstart/custom RPM or Clonezilla could be the options . I was looking for some wiki/guideline to use kickstart in this purpose. does any one know of any?
thankyou in advance. :)
