[xen-tools-discuss] Re: Installing additional packages with xen-create-image

[Jeff Forcier]

I use the roles functionality to write my own scripts which install
extra packages, it's pretty flexible. I believe I worked off of the
included role scripts, which served as examples of how to use
convenience functions for installing e.g. Debian packages directly
onto the newly created filesystem, stuff like that.

If you absolutely need to specify a few different packages each time
you run xen-create-image, I don't know how to do that offhand,
hopefully someone else will know :) not familiar with any --include
type option.
