Topic: Custom ISO

[gpapaiko]

I am looking for some help on a custom iso.
I have created a custom iso becasue I wanted some extra packages to be install for creation of multiple server.

The iso was created but I have one issue in that it boots intlevel 3 and not to int level 7,this now ask for the root password which I have no idea what it is.

Can some please tell tell me how i can get the iso to boot to int level 7 after installation.

   have been banning my bead trying ot find the solution.

many thanks in advance.

I don't think there is an init level 7.  They are numbered 0-6.
0 - halt
1 - Single user mode
2 - Multiuser, no networking
3 - Full multiuser mode
4 - unused
5 - X11
6 - reboot

Perhaps your looking to set it to 5?  If so, I don't think you can as the SME server doesn't have a graphical environment.  Or, perhaps I have misunderstood your question.

I don't think there is an init level 7.  

There is. Specific to SME server. Please read the developer documentation on this website.

OP might be able to fix his system by booting single user, and running "/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-install", then rebooting. But that depends on how he customised the install.

OP should probably just install the additional packages after reboot.

Thannks.
You are right the init level 7 is only available in SME.

The way in which I created the ISO is as follows:
1/ downloaded the dev tools and installed.
2/ copied iso image of 6.5RC1 to server
3/ mounted 6.5RC1 IOS and coped toa new location called cdrom.
4/ added required RPM's to the relevant directory (e-smith/RPMS)
5/ Modifed the comps files to include the new rpm's
6/ build iso.

The build wa as per  the instruction of Darrell May <dmay@myezserver.com> link to page(http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/smeserver/6.x/howto/smeserver-iso-howto.html)
