KIWI

Introduction

The openSUSE KIWI Image System provides an operating system image solution for Linux supported hardware platforms as well as for virtualization systems like Xen, VMware, etc. The KIWI architecture was designed as a two level system. The first stage, based on a valid software package source, creates a so called unpacked image according to the provided image description. The second stage creates from a required unpacked image an operating system image. The result of the second stage is called a packed image or short an image.
