1)
Install xCAT
Option 1: Prepare to Install xCAT Directly from the Internet-Hosted Repository

Add the following 2 lines into a xcat.list file and put the xcat.list under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/:

deb http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/xcat/ubuntu/devel/core-snap precise main
deb http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/xcat/ubuntu/xcat-dep precise main

Since we use xcat-core and xcat-dep repo file on rh and sles. I suggest we also use xcat-core.list and xcat-dep.list to contain the repository.
Add following line to xcat-core.list under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
deb http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/xcat/ubuntu/devel/core-snap precise main

Add following line to xcat-dep.list under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
deb http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/xcat/ubuntu/xcat-dep precise main

2)

Updating xCAT Packages Later

If you need to update the xCAT software later:

apt-get --allow-unauthenticated install xcat perl-xcat xcat-server xcat-client xcat-genesis-scripts-amd64

missing xcat-genesis-base-amd64

3)
Set up pkglists

You likely want to customize the main pkglist for the image. This is the list of rpms or groups that will be installed from the distro. (Other rpms that they depend on will be installed automatically.) For example:

mkdir -p /install/custom/install/ubuntu/
cp -p /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/ubuntu/compute.pkglist /install/custom/install/ubuntu/
vi /install/custom/install/ubuntu/compute.pkglist
chdef -t osimage <osimage name=""> pkglist=/install/custom/install/rh/compute.rhels6.x86_64.pkglist</osimage>

Currently, under /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/ubuntu/ on ubuntu system, we only have compute.tmpl . Need to update this section to ask users to create the compute.pkglist file themselves.

4) Installing Additional Packages Using an Otherpkgs Pkglist

If you have additional rpms (rpms not in the distro) that you also want installed, make a directory to hold them, create a list of the rpms you want installed, and add that information to the osimage definition:

Create a directory to save all packages which will be installed(the directory should under /install/).

/install/post/otherpkgs/ubuntu/x86_64

The directory should be /install/post/otherpkgs/ubuntu12.04.1/x86_64

the 4th one:
the readhat os use /install/post/otherpkgs/rh/x86_64 to save other packages, so here can use this path.
