    Details

    OES 2 linux is a add-on-product for SLES 10. The makeoes2dvd.sh script takes the OES 2 ISO and the SLES 10 sp1 iso, and creates a single integrated ISO file. The DVD image can then be used to install OES2 without having to manually add the OES 2 add-on product. During the install OES2 is automatically added on when install with the DVD image this script creates.

    Note: Edit the three variables at the top of the script to put the path to your OES 2 ISO, your SLES10 ISO, and the path to the integrated ISO it will create. The script can also be edited to change the path of the "add-on-products" file it creates, so the ISO can be mounted as an OES 2 network install source.

    • The md5sums are nice but they look to me like they're based on the beta RC versions of SLES and OES so they don't seem to match when using the full GM versions. Still a useful script though.
    • It should also be noted - it looks like if you uncomment the section at the bottom of the script you can calculate an md5sum and compare it to one in the script as well
