Hello,  
how is it possible to Modify the boot medium? Some boot media have the option of starting a live / rescue system. Can I add further standard packages to this Live / Rescue System or set certain time zones as standard?  
Regards  
Ronald

Hi  
Have a look at using Kiwi [https://documentation.suse.com/kiwi/9/single-html/kiwi/index.html](https://documentation.suse.com/kiwi/9/single-html/kiwi/index.html) to create your own image, or use Studio Express at [https://studioexpress.opensuse.org/](https://studioexpress.opensuse.org/)

Some further questions to [https://studioexpress.opensuse.org](https://studioexpress.opensuse.org) It looks really cool B) but can I create also iso-Images to boot from DVD-Drive? I see only VM, Raspberry Pi Images?

Hi  
Yes, just need to define the image type in your xml file preferences section.  
[https://osinside.github.io/kiwi/image\_description/elements.html#preferences](https://osinside.github.io/kiwi/image_description/elements.html#preferences)

Worth a read as well [https://openbuildservice.org/help/manuals/obs-user-guide/art.obs.bg.html](https://openbuildservice.org/help/manuals/obs-user-guide/art.obs.bg.html)

I find a little easier to build locally just need a config.sh, config.xml and root folder…  
An example I use to just build a small iso image for testing;

```auto
        <type image="iso" primary="true" flags="overlay" hybrid="true" hybridpersistent_filesystem="ext4" hybridpersistent="true"/>

```
