How to create customized CentOS 7.0 installation DVD?

[vehmaa]

Hi,

I'm very fresh with linux and this is my first post to CentOS forum. Probably my questions are already asked here, but it is impossible the get throuh the whole forum. I should create fully off-line installation DVD with GNOME desktop. On the top of that, I have 4 own rpms and half dozen other files. I have also kick start files for automatic installation and modified isolinux.cfg for installation options.

I have done the same with Fedora 16..20 with following instructions: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_c ... or_testing.
At first I have minimized fedora-install-fedora.ks and added my own repos and needed rpm there to get complete ISO image with mock & pungi tools. Then I have opened ISO img into linux file system, added non-rpm files and finally rebuild ISO img.

Is there similar kick start based system, that can be used to create centOS installation DVD in the same way than Fedora.

There is a difference between rebuilding the installation DVD, and respinning a LiveCD/LiveDVD that you'll be able to test the system, but also install the running system to disk.
If that's what you're searching for, here we go :
we host the kickstart files used to produce our CentOS Live media images (for CentOS 7) here :
https://git.centos.org/tree/sig-core!livemedia.git

As stated in the README file, you can find the needed tools here:
http://people.centos.org/arrfab/CentOS7/LiveMedia/
or SRPMS here : http://people.centos.org/arrfab/CentOS7/SRPMS/

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I'm rather looking for rebuilding the installation DVD (with my additions) than respinning a LiveDVD.

Hi,

Do you host somewhere the kickstart files used to produce CentOS installation DVD media images(CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD.iso)?

+1 on this.
The instructions on how to respin an ISO to deploy on the cloud could be really useful.
Thanks
