RH Kickstart Questions..

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat
1

Hello,

I am pretty new to using Linux and learning as I go, my setup is extremly simple, I have 1 virtual machine running on my laptop running (ubuntu 10.04), I've created a kickstart (Red Hat) file with the ksconfig.

So I know have a config file for my Redhat.iso and my VM machine.

What's next?

Sorry I am just confused, usually I would create an iso and make it bootable and call my config when it boots, but not really sure how todo it here..

Tools:
Virtualbox - on my laptop (nothing fancy)
Redhat.ISO - DVD
1 config file

Whats the next step? Basically, I want to make a DVD, my second part is to make it install off a network.. (that's part II)

Any guidance would be great :slight_smile:

Thank You and looking forward ..

You can burn the ISO to a DVD or mount it directly in VirtualBox.

If you are going to use a media, the ks.cfg file must be located in the DVD's top-level directory.

Otherwise make sure that the kickstart file is available somewhere through the network (HTTP, NFS, FTP, etc).

Boot from the DVD/ISO and tell the installer to use your KS file. E.g.:

linux ks=http:some_server:/some_path
