Create Platform-Specific Installation Packages
To help reduce the size of Agent installation packages, you can specify which Linux platforms to include in the build package. You can specify whether to include RHEL or Ubuntu or both. You can also specify which versions of either RHEL or Ubuntu to include. For more details, refer to “Creating the Installation File” in Digital Guardian Agent for Linux User’s Guide.
