[Ltsp-discuss] Image copies don't appear in boot menu - Kiwi-Ltsp

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

I followed the instructions for making a copy of the chroot, but I never
get a chance to choose one of those when the client boots. They are not
mentioned in the boot menu. The only chroot which is mentioned is the
original i386, so I made the copies but then continued my experiments
with this chroot only.

Meanwhile I was able to install a lot of things in the chroot, and
everything runs fine. Yast2 was my friend here, as it offers broader
ways to install groups of software like desktop environments in one go.

But maybe I understood this wrong, what can I do to make a copy of the
chroot to appear in the boot list? Could I do it by hand, if the script
fails? And how is this list maintained, if one of the entries shall be
deleted etc.?

Regards
Rolf

See cloning part
https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwi-ltsp/wiki/Customizing%20Image/

It automatically adds boot menu entries.

See also /etc/sysconfig/kiwi-ltsp where profiles are mentioned.
