ABSTRACT:
A Linux kernel and an application software package are integrally installed at a target computer by using a CML2. Setup options of the application S/W package to be installed at the target computer are described in an option information file. The option information file of the application S/W package is converted into a CML2 rule file and the CML2 rule file of the application S/W package is then integrated with a CML2 rule file of the Linux kernel, thereby realizing integrated configuration of the Linux kernel and the application S/W package and preparing an environment where dependency rules between the Linux kernel and the application S/W package can be described. Since every option in the option information file has a file list and these file lists are stored in a file list table, an installation file list that describes files finally installed at the target computer can be easily generated.
