Now that the module is built, it can be deployed using one of the methods described in 1.20.4, “Deployment methods” on page 88. 1.17 Customize an Ultra-Portable operating system module Ultra-portable modules are only available by importing them from an existing IBM Preload. There are several ways to import an Ultra-Portable module. Please refer to “Import IBM Preload modules into your repository” on page 22, for methods of importing modules into an ImageUltra Repository Ultra-portable images are the most flexible for adapting to various hardware and software environments. Since ultra-portable images are only available through the use of existing operating system modules, customizations using additional ImageUltra Builder modules may be required. This section will illustrate the requirements for changing these files using additional modules to customize an image. This example outlines the customization of the UNATTEND.TXT file. Things you will need are: ► UNATTEND.TXT - Extract a copy from an existing IBM image. The files are located in the c:\i386 directory. ► A working base map - Modify an existing base map to include this enhancement. Note: Refer to 1.13, “Creating an operating system add-on module” on page 39 for details on creating this type of module. Perform the following steps: 1. Create the C:\UNATTEND directory. 2. Copy your customized UNATTEND.TXT into that directory. The UNATTEND.TXT below has the information which disables games and components not required. 3. Create an operating system add-on module with the following attributes: Chapter 1. ImageUltra Builder 63
