NAME

6       osinfo-install-script - generate a script for automated installation
7

SYNOPSIS

9       osinfo-install-script [OPTIONS...] MEDIA-FILE|OS-ID
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Generate a script suitable for performing an automated installation of
13       "MEDIA_FILE" or "OS-ID". "MEDIA_FILE" should be a path to an installer
14       or live media (typically an ISO file). "OS-ID" should be a URI
15       identifying the operating system, or its short ID.
16
17       By default a script will be generated for a "JEOS" style install.
18

OPTIONS

20       --profile=NAME
21               Choose the installation script profile. Defaults to "jeos", but
22               can also be "desktop", or a site specific profile name
23
24       --installation-source=NAME
25               Set the installation source to be used with the installation
26               script. Defaults to "media", but can also be "network".
27
28       --config=key=value
29               Set the configuration parameter "key" to "value".
30
31       --config-file=config-file
32               Set the configurations parameters according to the config-file
33               passed.
34
35               Note that use of --config-file is strongly recommended if the
36               user or admin passwords need to be set. Providing passwords
37               directly using --config= is insecure as the password is visible
38               to all processes and users on the same host.
