Abstract
The OpenSuSE KIWI Image System provides a complete operating system image solution for Linux supported hardware platforms as well as for virtualisation systems like Xen, Qemu or VMware. The KIWI architecture was designed as a two level system. The first stage, based on a valid software package source, creates a so called physical extend according to the provided image description. The second stage creates from a required physical extend an operating system image. The result of the second stage is called a logical extend or short an image. There are already a lot of projects using the KIWI image system today including the very popular SUSE Studio online appliance builder. This talk briefly introduces the KIWI image system and shows how to create images based on distributions other than openSUSE.
