Setting up the toolkit environment involves the following tasks:

  1. Set up the toolkit launch: Setting up the toolkit launch involves editing a script and a configuration file that control the toolkit. The EFI loader launches the Linux boot loader, which executes a bootstrap script in the root file system. The bootstrap script invokes the main toolkit launch script, which uses a Linux setup script to trigger the OS installation. Edit the Linux boot loader configuration file and the Linux setup script. You do not need to modify other files unless you change the repository structure.

  2. Set up a boot mechanism: Edit the boot configuration file to specify the boot device, the location of the scripts and OS files, and the user name and password to access that location (for a network share). Create an image using the boot files. Then, either burn this image onto the boot device or set up the remote installation server that would support a network boot and OS installation.
