Not really. Before discovering CentOS (around 2006), I've been a
die-hard Slackware user, so my two install CDs are a bit like a set of
two Slackware CDs. Which means, a loose set of directories with stuff in
them, plus scripts to install them. For example, directories like x11/,
nvidia/, ati/ and compiz/, with stuff in them, which I install only if
needed. As for the configuration, I do everything (X11, network, ...) by
hand, using Vi.
Here's an example. I have a directory java/, with the latest java from
sun.com, plus the following script:
#!/bin/bash
#
CWD=`pwd`
cp jre-6u14-linux-i586.bin /opt
chmod +c /opt/jre-6u14-linux-i586.bin
{
cd /opt
rm -rf jre1.6.0_14
rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
sh jre-6u14-linux-i586.bin
rm -f jre-6u14-linux-i586.bin
}
ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0_14/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
cat > /etc/profile.d/java.sh << EOF
export J2RE_HOME=/opt/jre1.6.0_14
export PATH=$J2RE_HOME/bin:$PATH
EOF
chmod +x /etc/profile.d/java.sh
source /etc/profile.d/java.sh
alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jre1.6.0_14/bin/java 2
alternatives --config java
Or, other example, the w32codecs/ directory with the following script:
#!/bin/bash
#
# codecs-install.sh
CWD=`pwd`
rm -rf /usr/lib/codecs
rm -rf /usr/lib/win32
tar xjf $CWD/all-20071007.tar.bz2 -C /usr/lib
{
cd /usr/lib
mv all-20071007 codecs
ln -s codecs win32
}
This logic applies pretty much to everything. But it's not really an
installer.
Of course, it *could* be possible to publish some more user-friendly set
of install CDs, but this would be a hell of a lot of work, and you'd end
up with something like Yellowdog Linux (which is based on CentOS).
Cheers,
Niki
