Customize Installation

You may want to customize your installation if:

• you want to install a new set of packages during the OpenBSD installation.
• if you want to report an installation problem.
• If you want to change the default configuration files.

Inside the iso

Mount the iso and cd into it. See the Guide to Unix Explanation section on how to mount an iso file. Then the <your OpenBSD release>, and then <your processor> directory.

cd /<where the mounted iso is located>/<your OpenBSD release>/<your processor>

For me it is:

cd /Volumes/OpenBSD:i386_4.4_Install_CD/4.4/i386

(My auto-mount system gives the files that it mounts long names).

Layout

For OpenBSD 4.4 i386 it is:

4.4
   i386

      boot.catalog
      Template:Fn+
      Template:Fn+

Customize

Cd into the iso as directed before. Now change the file permissions. If you want another package installed as an option. Take the package and rename it (do not put a period):

site<your version>-<the package name>.tgz

For abiword on OpenBSD 4.4, it is:

site44-abiword.tgz

You will also have to find its dependencies and include them as well.
