The tools allow anyone to take the openSUSE distribution, add additional software (packaged as RPMs) and create
* modified installation media for the distribution
* complete installation media for the additional software, including an installation workflow
* combined installation media for the distribution and the additional software
* any executable image supported by KIWI, like liveCD, bootable USB stick, Xen image etc.
So, it’s much better if we choose an example how the things work together. Let’s assume we want to have a nice way to deliver our great software ACME. We have a bunch of rpm packages in a directory on the disk. What we can do:
* create an installation media (including ISOs) to be used as add-on product for openSUSE 10.3
* add ACME packages to the openSUSE 10.3 distribution, removing all non-ACME related stuff from 10.3, adapting the patterns to preselect ACME
* create a liveCD based on openSUSE 10.3 that will automatically start ACME
* create a Xen image to be directly deployable on our farm of Xen-enabled hosts
太帅了，不知道论坛上有没有大哥愿意给国内opensuse的粉丝们做个中文定制版阿。
