Creating Custom OS Profiles

UForge provides a set of OS profiles. If you want to create another OS profile, you can create one using UForge’s graphical user interface.

Note

You can delete packages but we do not guarantee that your OS profile will be functional.

To create a new OS profile:

  1. Under the Administration tab, click OS Profiles.

  2. If you are an administrator to more than one organization, then you can choose the organization to administer from the drop-down menu.

  3. Double-click on the operating system you want to administer. This will provide the current list of profiles this operating system has.

  4. Select the profile which will serve as the base for your custom OS profile and click create.

  6. Enter a description (mandatory).

  8. Click Save.
