This directory contains files of the form:

Distribution-Revision-Architecture-<suffix>

where <suffix> is basically one of these two options

	Distribution-Revision-Architecture-iso.tar	(ISO images)
	Distribution-Revision-Architecture-usbboot.img	(USB images)

NOTE: Contents will be overridden by same name file placed
        in configuration hierarchy

If you want to get started quickly, for the readily available distributions,
you can simple grab usable files here:

	http://www.instalinux.com/snapshots/images/

These were all created with the following process, starting with
deliverables from the distribution.  And for those "Enterprise" Linux
offerings, you will have to create your own images.

NOTE: The USB images are simply renamed copies of the relevant images
	from the distribution.

  For Debian-based variants:
    (Debian, Ubuntu)

    In the top level dists directory for your version/architectures,
    find the respective file:

      mini.iso

    loopback mount it, and copy at least the following files to
    another location

      initrd.gz
      isolinux.bin
      linux

    Change all of these files to be publically writable, so that your
    http_user can later modify them, essentially to place the appropriate
    preseed into initrd.img.  Create a new tar file name (according to
    the above conventions) by archiving this new set of files.

  For RedHat-based variants:
    (CentOS, Fedora, RHEL, Scientific, VMware)

    In the top level distribution directory for your version/architecture,
    find the file

      boot.iso

    loopback mount it, and copy the contents of the isolinux directory
    to another location.  Then you can selectively remove all but the
    following

      isolinux/initrd.img
      isolinux/isolinux.bin
      isolinux/isolinux.cfg
      isolinux/memtest
      isolinux/vmlinuz

    Change all of these files to be publically writable, so that your
    http_user can later modify them, essentially to place the appropriate
    ks.cfg into initrd.img.  Create a new tar file name (according to
    the above conventions) by archiving the copied isolinux directory.

    If you want to provide USB boot images, simply copy, from the
    top level distribution directory for your version/architecture,
    the file

      diskboot.img

    and name it according to the above conventions, being aware of
    the suffix specified in data/images-<Distribution-Revision-Architecture>
    configuration file

  For SuSE-based variants:
    (OpenSUSE, SLES/SLED)

    In the top level distribution directory for your version/architecture,
    find the directory

      loader

    and copy the following files to another location

      initrd
      isolinux.bin
      isolinux.cfg
      linux
      memtest

    Change all of these files to be publically writable, so that your
    http_user can later modify them, essentially to place the appropriate
    autoyast into initrd.img.  Create a new tar file name (according to
    the above conventions) by archiving this new set of files.
