make_media_install / pre_load_script

[rleon]

Hi

I have successful made a make_media_install iso dvd. But I want to call a pre_load_script.

It is in my cfg file that is in the INDEX file.
Now it works and does as it should if I do a lan / network install.

But from the dvd it puts the pre_load_script on the dvd but doesn't find it.

Is there an option that I am missing to create an iso that will call the pre_load_script.

Thanks

Usually make_media_install operates on a pre-existing archive to make the DVD.

Archives generally do not have custom config files, so you would not see your custom config script there, unless you specify it.

Have you experimented with the -f or -F options for make_media_install? These options claim to add-in additional custom config files to the iso image.

Yes and the -f option does work.
It looks for the script that I am trying to run.

What I am running into is a path issue.
I am not sure what the cfg file on the cd is looking for.

Definitely advanced topic here. I have not done this myself, but chatted with some who have. If this does not work, consider contacting HP directly.

- Put your custom script in the same pseudo-root directory you used to build the iso image
- When Ignite is loading software, the path is uses is /tmp/ign_configure/SD_CDROM, so you may need this added as the path to the custom script
