I really should point out that if you are modifying the CentOS Linux ISOs and distributing them to others while still calling them CentOS Linux, you are likely in violation of our Trademark rules: https://www.centos.org/legal/trademarks/ Those ISOs (and files) are produced by the buildinstall process. The files in question are created by anaconda-runtime tools. CentOS has Special Interest Groups, where new install images can be built, etc. by group members .. see this for more info: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup We want users to use CentOS Linux as a platform for other projects .. ideally via these SIGs, but even as not part of SIGs we are fine with people using CentOS Linux as a basis for projects. If you are not part of a SIG though, and are using CentOS for a basis of a project then the key thing to remember is to not modify our installer, but add your software at the end of the install process. Then you would call the thing you distribute "your software" on CentOS. We have images for generic KVMs, vargrant, AWS, Docker, etc. on our wiki download page as well as ISOs. If you use those as is and add things to them then "your software" on CentOS Linux name is fine. If you modify our images however, then you need to remove our trademarks and call it "some other linux" based on CentOS. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'll try to trace down the details of this buildinstall process, so I can try to track down where the associated source is provided by the CentOS project. -- Brian Reichert <reichert at numachi.com> BSD admin/developer at large
