Customize installation profiles

The installation profiles provided by SA are designed to install a minimal working system.

You can use these profiles to:

  • Customize partitioning
  • Customize the firewall
  • Install additional software from the installation media

Note For ease of troubleshooting, you should not use any scripts as part of an installation profile. SA Scripts should be run as part of the Build Plan after the step that installs the OS. This makes the scripts easier to maintain.

For instructions abut how to change individual installation profiles, see the vendor documentation for the OS you are installing and for the supported syntax. The name of the configuration template provides keyword suggestions searching the syntax.

Depending on the OS that you are installing and how much you want to change, you can either create a new profile or copy and modify an existing profile.
