Objective:

    Create a bootable media that contains everything to install and configure a system.

Ideas:

* usb stick
** uefi vs. bios
** contains cdist config
** static ip (?) (if at all)
** hostname setup to localhost
** install and config support
* preos from existing OS?
** requires kernel
** requires initramfs (self build)
** missing tools: cdist preos --config hostname...
* testing with qemu
* syslinux/isolinux?

Program:

- get tools
- get kernel
    - provide fallback on cdist page
    - archlinux: /boot/vmlinuz-linux
- create initramfs?
- create bootable media
    - iso
    - uefi-usb
    - bios-usb

Tasks:

- Setup test environment
    - qemu launcher
    /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -m 256 -cdrom  '/home/users/nico/oeffentlich/rechner/projekte/cdist/cdist/cdist-preos.iso'
- Create bootable image
- Test image

Log:

mkdir iso
cp /boot/vmlinuz-linux iso/
cp /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/isolinux.bin iso/
