Specifying the distribution

oneSIS performs some distribution-specific operations. The most notable is the distribution patch, which is usually required to keep a distro's rc scripts from causing errors when booting.

Enabling and disabling system services in the default runlevel is also distro-specific, and some distro's may require some minor boot-time initialization tasks.

A directive is included in /etc/sysimage.conf to specify the distribution of the master image to enable oneSIS to handle these tasks for different distributions. If the specified distribution is not currently supported, it may be necessary to create a distribution patch as mentioned in section 4.6.

oneSIS will operate even on an unsupported distribution, but some of the distro-specific features described above will not be available. Remember that any SERVICE directives in the /etc/sysimage.conf file must always be enabled in the default runlevel. The rest of the system will still work as expected.
