Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Embedded Linux 105Creating Operating System Installation Directories for SupportedLinux Operating SystemsNOTE: The following procedures are provided as a best practices guideline forcreating operating system distribution folders compatible with the DTK samplescripts. For complete instructions on setting up an installation directory structurefor an unattended installation, see your operating system documentation.For deployment of supported Linux operating systems, copy the ISO imagesfor the operating system installation to a folder on your network (for example,/linuxboot). This folder should be accessible after DTK completes its tasks.Also, copy the following into the /linuxboot folder:• kernel image (from the Linux operating system CD)• initial ramdisk from the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility onthe Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVDSee Figure 7-4 for a sample directory structure for deployment of a supportedLinux operating system.NOTE: If you choose to create a directory structure for the Linux installation files thatis different from the one suggested in this guide, be sure to carefully review and editeach sample script (where necessary) to reflect the different directory structure.
