Integrators using Koozali SME Server, might search way to customize the final appearance of the server before delivering it to clients in order to enhance their global experience with the product and with the local support offered by the Integrator. Here is how we facilitate this with the SME10 release.

Anaconda and Iso

A way to customize your iso is to simply call a kickstart.

TO DOCUMENT

Grub

Default Koozali SME Server 10 is shipped with a Koozali branded grub theme. You can easily take a look at the theme in /boot/grub2/themes/koozali. Simply copy it and start modifying it to your needs. You will be able to easily change your theme and make it to the grub menu by doing the following and replacing [MY_THEME] by the folder name of your theme in /boot/grub2/themes/ 

db configuration setprop sysconfig GrubTheme [MY_THEME]
expand-template /etc/default/grub
grub2-mkconfig  -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

if you want to revert to a classic grub interface without theme 

db configuration setprop sysconfig GrubTheme disabled
expand-template /etc/default/grub
grub2-mkconfig  -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

If you want to only get a background image with the classic grub interface 

db configuration setprop sysconfig GrubTheme disabled
db configuration setprop sysconfig GrubBackground /boot/grub2/myimage.png 
expand-template /etc/default/grub
grub2-mkconfig  -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

If you want to revert to default setting 

db configuration delprop sysconfig GrubTheme 
db configuration delprop sysconfig GrubBackground  
expand-template /etc/default/grub
grub2-mkconfig  -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

You might want to change the boot line from SME Server to something else. 

mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates/boot/grub2/grub.cfg/
echo '{
    @lines = map { s/^title Koozali SME Server/title YOUR PERSONAL SERVER /; $_ } @lines;
    $OUT = "";
}'>/etc/e-smith/templates/boot/grub2/grub.cfg/99Filter
expand-template /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

You might want also to add this to expand during post-upgrade event at least.
