All,
I'm pleased to announce release 0.5.0 of Oz. Oz is a program for doing
automated installation of guest operating systems with limited input from the
user.
Release 0.5.0 is a bugfix and feature release for Oz. Some of the
highlights between Oz 0.4.0 and 0.5.0 are:
- Replace icicle-nc binary with a shell script to try various methods. Besides
being more portable, this also allows us to convert Oz to a noarch RPM (thanks
to Padraig Brady)
- Support for Ubuntu 6.06
- Support for md5sum/sha1sum/sha256sum checking of ISOs after download
- New -x flag for oz-install to write the libvirt XML file to a user-specified
location (thanks to Steve Dake)
- Support for OpenSUSE customization
- Support for F-15 customization (thanks to Steve Dake)
- Support for running commands at the end of package installation (thanks to
Steve Dake)
Fedora 14 and RHEL-6 packages are available for this release. Note that to
install the RHEL-6 packages, you must be running RHEL-6.1 or later.
Instructions of how to get and use Oz are available at
