This guide will help you create a custom recovery partition for rapid recovery of ClearOS. This can be used to recover ClearOS and using this method, you can use this to reinstall ClearOS at a future date or to just automate the install process. Included in this guide is a template for the kickstart process that will give you the ability to automate your install process.

There are a few steps that you will need. The basic layout is this:

• Booting to an OS that will allow you to manipulate the disk
• Formatting the correct target disk or partition
• Laying down the OS and install assets
• Making the target bootable
• Booting into the recovery partition (optional, UEFI only)
