2. Download

Intead of hang on each anaconda image file, we hanged on the files that let us build them.

DOWNLOAD:

  • svn export https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/trunk/Main

TIP: To get anaconda image files use the render.sh script available in the Main/ directory of our ArtWork/BuildingEnvironment.

3. Rendering

To render anaconda images we use svg templates. svg templates have your design plus some markers that help us render it for each CentOS versions.

If you want to improve CentOS with your talent, you can take a look to those templates, modify them or build new ones.

IMPORTANT: After rendering, you need to be sure that some files have the right number of colors. syslinux and grub images are an example.

3.1. Examples

To render common anaconda images for all languages:

./render.sh commons anaconda
