MAC Config files can not be created using windows about picl-k3os-image-generator

I'm thinking about allowing - instead of : as well. This would be a relatively simple change in init.resizefs, even when we want backwards compatibility. Something to the extent of:

MY_MAC=$(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address)
if [ -r "/k3os/system/config/${MY_MAC}.yaml" ]; then
        ln -s /k3os/system/config/${MY_MAC}.yaml /k3os/system/config.yaml
else
        MY_MAC=$(cat $MY_MAC | sed 's/:/-/')
        if [ -r "/k3os/system/config/${MY_MAC}.yaml" ]; then
                ln -s /k3os/system/config/${MY_MAC}.yaml /k3os/system/config.yaml
        else
                echo "Error..."
                exit 1
        fi
fi

Then, we'd update documentation to indicate that : and - are both allowed in the config filenames. Would you like to give this a try?

you have an error in your script, the sed command only replace the first :, this is what i've used successfully.

MY_MAC=$(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address)
if [ -r "/k3os/system/config/${MY_MAC}.yaml" ]; then
  ln -s /k3os/system/config/${MY_MAC}.yaml /k3os/system/config.yaml
else
  MY_MAC=$(echo $MY_MAC | sed 's/:/-/g')
  if [ -r "/k3os/system/config/${MY_MAC}.yaml" ]; then
    ln -s /k3os/system/config/${MY_MAC}.yaml /k3os/system/config.yaml
  else
    echo "Error..."
    exit 1
  fi
fi

Off topic but in my fork i also changed the build script to be executable from docker compose, with a download cache as a volume should these feature are interesting to anyone. This way, you don't have to rebuild the docker image to generate your isos.

Otherwise this all works really great thanks for the project @sgielen
