CentOS - May 2020 - How to Load Custom CentOS 7 Image

Dear All,
> It seems like kickstart is what you are looking for.?
> Is this what you were trying to do?
Yes, kickstart is what I?m looking for. Let me detail my provisioning process:

  *   Provision a VM with standard CentOS 7 NetInstall ISO & my post script.
The file system is created on top of LVM
  *   Export entire VM as custom ISO image to be loaded into physical hardware
  *   Kickstart physical hardware using above exported custom image &
different grub/isolinux configuration

Although I could just use the same CentOS 7 NetInstall ISO & run all my post
script to the physical HW, it may take a few hours, since post script is long,
and I wonder if above process will speed up, since the VM has everything needed.

If that process isn?t feasible, then I?ll just do the same thing for physical
hardware.

Thanks,

- Xinhuan

You can also include your post scripts in kickstart and build a custom
ISO, I haven't tried exporting a VM to an ISO but I have been adding
kickstart to my custom ISOs and it does everything that I
need.
