If all you want to do is change a dom0 parameter, or package, then you can do what you say - unpack, change, repack. (People do this for UEFI parameters, I think.) You wont be able to distribute that iso unless you rework the check, but it should be fine for your purposes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] how to modify qubes-installer-ISO
I would like to modify the qubes-iso (add a different kernel, maybe add a wireless driver). Did someone here solve that already? A brief google on the subject reveals that modifying ISO's is not straightforward ... and touching the kernel may add extra difficulties. https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-iso-building/ covers building the iso. Adding a different kernel would be difficult, but I think you could stage the wireless driver in one of the template builds it contains. It is relatively easy to build a custom iso, and certainly to include alternate kernel builds and drivers in the templates. (I assume that this is what you want.) If you use the stock templates, then you can customise them simply enough by adjusting the build parameters, and packages, in (e.g.) builder-debian. Thank you, awokd and unman. So I cannot just take the std installer, unpack the iso, add/replace a kernel, and repack it? That is certainly a bit naïve as approach, but since I can do the same with a working xen/qubes why is the installer so different?

Bernhard: Dear qubes-community, I would like to modify the qubes-iso (add a different kernel, maybe add a wireless driver). Did someone here solve that already? A brief google on the subject reveals that modifying ISO's is not straightforward ... and touching the kernel may add extra difficulties. https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-iso-building/ covers building the iso. Adding a different kernel would be difficult, but I think you could stage the wireless driver in one of the template builds it contains. -- - don't top post Mailing list etiquette: - trim quoted reply to only relevant portions - when possible, copy and paste text instead of screenshots -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
