How to Build an Image in One Step

1. Become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .

2. Download the distribution-constructor package.
3. Select a manifest for your image.
4. (Optional)If needed, customize the manifest, adding references to your custom scripts.
5. Issue the basic distro_const command without options.

   # distro_const build manifest.xml

   Replace manifest with the name of the manifest file to be used as the blueprint for your image.

   For example:

   # distro_const build /usr/share/distro_const/dc_livecd.xml

   The distribution constructor pulls the needed packages for the image, and builds the image to the specifications that you set up in the manifest file.

6. (Optional)After the build is complete, you can view a log file reporting on the build process.

   The build output displays the location of log files.
