Requirements:

• Linux Box

• openSUSE 11 Live CD ISO

• ISO Editor.

• squashfs 3.1 tools for Linux

• ZENworks boot cd / iso

The plan is to take an openSUSE Live boot CD and add the imaging commands and libraries to it.

1. Copy the ZENworks boot disk ISO onto the Linux box, mount it and copy the root image off the CD.

   
   

   The root image path is mnt/boot/i386/ with mnt being the directory that the ISO is mounted.

• Now we need to mount the root image and copy what we need out of it.
  
  
  In the directory that you copied the root image to, use these commands:
  
  

    mv root root.gz
    gunzip root.gz
    mkdir image
    mount -o loop root image  # this will mount the root archive
    cd image
   # now we want to copy these files
   image/usr/lib/libhwresolve.so.2.2
   image/usr/lib/libtvision.so.0
   image/usr/lib/libhd.so.12
   image/usr/lib/libzisd.so
   image/usr/lib/libzmgtool.so
   image/usr/lib/libzmgerror.so
   image/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.2
   image/lib/libsysfs.so.1
   image/lib/libc-2.4.so 
   image/bin/img
   

  
  

  
  

  
  Now that we have the tools we need the next step is to get the openSUSE Live CD ready.

• On the Linux box again take the openSUSE Live CD ISO and mount it.

  
  

  Copy openSUSE-11.0-read-only.i686-2.7.0 from the top directory of the ISO, this is the Live CD root image that we will be adding the tools to.

  
  
  

  In order to extract and edit openSUSE-11.0-read-only.i686-2.7.0 we need the squashfs tools, more specifically squashfs version 3.1.

• unsquashfs openSUSE-11.0-read-only.i686-2.7.0

  
  

  
  

  
  This will create a directory named squashfs-root.

• Inside squashfs-root you should see the root directory for the Live CD.

  
  

  Move into the var directory, create a directory (mine is img-tools) and copy all the files we got from the ZENworks boot CD.

• Now we need to add the libraries and the img command, all that is necessary is to copy the files.
  
  

  libhwresolve.so.2.2 /usr/lib/libhwresolve.so.2.2
  libtvision.so.0 /usr/lib/libtvision.so.0
  libhd.so.12 /usr/lib/libhd.so.12
  libzisd.so /usr/lib/libzisd.so
  libzmgtool.so /usr/lib/libzmgtool.so
  libzmgerror.so /usr/lib/libzmgerror.so
  libsysfs.so.1 /lib/libsysfs.so.1
  libdbus-1.so.2 /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.2
  libc-2.4.so /lib/libc-2.4.so
  img /usr/bin/img
  

  
  

  
  

• Inside the directory img-tools create a link to libc-2.4.so
  

  ln -s  libc-2.4.so libc.so.6 

  
  

  
  

  
  The image now is ready to be repacked and added back to the Live CD ISO.
  
  
  
  To repack the squashfs file system run:
  

  mksquashfs squashfs-root openSUSE-11.0-read-only.i686-2.7.0

  
  

  
  

  
  All that is left is to add the read only file system back into the ISO and reburn it and that is it.
  
  
  
  Once booted to the CD run sudo img or su as root and you are ready to image.
