Creating a Centos 7 iso with kickstart
I'm trying to make a kickstart build of Linux and have a bootable ISO as a result. I'm using CentOS 7.
My problem is when I try make the ISO, it errors with this:
genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory '/home/dogzilla/kickstart_build/isolinux'!
I've copied files from the CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1804.iso and placed them in ~/kickstart_build.
Here's a tree of what's in ~/kickstart_build:
├── comps.xml
└── isolinux
├── boot.cat
├── boot.msg
├── grub.conf
├── images
│ ├── efiboot.img
│ ├── pxeboot
│ │ ├── initrd.img
│ │ ├── TRANS.TBL
│ │ └── vmlinuz
│ └── TRANS.TBL
├── initrd.img
├── isolinux.bin
├── isolinux.cfg
├── ks
│ └── ks.cfg
├── LiveOS
│ ├── squashfs.img
│ └── TRANS.TBL
├── memtest
├── Packages
│ ├── # A whole bunch of *.rpm files
├── postinstall
├── splash.png
├── TRANS.TBL
├── vesamenu.c32
└── vmlinuz
This is the command I'm using to try and build the ISO:
mkisofs -o myks.iso -b ~/kickstart_build/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c ~/kickstart_build/isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -V 'CentOS 7 x86_64' -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T ~/kickstart_build/isolinux/
Here's the output from the terminal:
I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
genisoimage 1.1.11 (Linux)

call to search_tree_file with an absolute path, stripping
initial path separator. Hope this was intended...
genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory '/home/dogzilla/kickstart_build/isolinux'!
Where am I going wrong?
