6.0 Building Images with the Image Creator Tool

SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service now uses KIWI as the main tool for creating Point of Service system images. YaST provides Image Creator, a GUI front-end to KIWI for easy image building. It is recommended to use this graphical front-end to build images. Image Creator can be started from YaST by choosing Miscellaneous > Image Creator.

When Image Creator is started, the Image Creator Configuration Overview dialog is shown. It lists image configurations saved in the /var/lib/SLEPOS/system directory. You can add, delete or edit configurations from the list by using appropriate buttons in the dialog. Images can be built from a newly added configuration or a from the configuration opened by Edit.
