Mer images are made using a low-level tool called mic2 (originally the Moblin/MeeGo Image Creator) - it's often (confusingly) called mic.

mic2 uses [[:Category:kickstart|kickstart]] files (also known as .ks files) to determine what packages to include and how to configure them.
+
 
+
mic provides several image types but the most useful for Mer are 'raw' or 'rootfs': ([[Category:FIXME]]FIXME: Is this enough?)
+
; raw
+
: this format can be written directly onto a block device such as a usb stick or an mmc device.
+
; rootfs
+
: if a device can be mounted and have a filesystem made (eg N950) then writing just the file data is more efficient.
+
; fs
+
: a directory tree with the rootfs
+
 
+
Note that some development versions of mic use the zypper package manager by default. Using --pkgmgr=yum is more reliable (19/Jan/2012)
+
 
+
The Tizen project is creating '''another''', third, version of mic, but to avoid confusion (!) it will simply be called mic, not mic3.
