similar to: Kickstart is my friend

So I took the anaconda cfg, commented out the partition/disk pieces and ran it off my repo server and it almost worked. Little things like not including things I had done on network setup. No first boot.... :) So now I am reading up on building a kickstart cfg http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/KickStart http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-howuse.html

Well I now have a 4.0 server at a solid checkpoint. Before I start the chore of setting up SAMBA and LDAP. Part of the delay was I did not copy all of the needed DNS files, and I have to reerad the BIND book. So I want to be able to get to this point again easily. I did not note down what options I had selected during install. Is there some way in the install log to figure that out? Is

Howdy, Was wondering if anyone on the list has successfully created a kickstart cd. I get the thing burnt, looks good, I can browse all the files, but when I actually boot from it I can't get it to admit the ks.cfg exists. I *have* been successful with kickstart over http; just can't seem to make it happen from the cd. Pointers appreciated, I've been mostly looking at the

Dear Experts, Sorry about taking shortcut and asking everybody... My question is: how do you avoid "firstboot" screen in latest CentOS 7.3 kickstart. I have installed about a dozen of CentOS 7 (none of which was 7.3) with that kickstart file. None of them ever went to firstboot screen on first boot. Now after kickstart installation of CentOS 7.3 it goes into firstboot screen showing

I am trying to use kickstart for automated builds from a DVD. Some of the machines have DVD's drives and some have CDRom drives only. With the CDRom only machines I would like to plug in an external DVD drive via USB and use this to kickstart. The DVD only machines work correctly with a isolinux.cfg as label test kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Anyone have any thoughts on why anaconda might be prompting me to reinitialize the disk during the kickstart of a Centos6.4 install on hyperV when a) the kickstart file contains "zerombr" as referred to in the installation guide[1] b) installation proceeds with no prompt on KVM hypervisors and succeeds? I have read the release notes[2]/tech

Using CentOS 5.1, though with a few hours work I could update to 5.2.. I can install to SAN with a single path no problem but I'd like to be able to use dm-multipath. From the kickstart docs it seems this is supported but there is no information as to what the various options mean http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html -- multipath (optional)

Hallo, my kickstart configuration (Centos 7.6) is working fine using pxe now but I ve two little problems: 1) The installation stops in the last screen "installation finished" and doesn't switch to the login-screen. 2) How can I configure the profile for users to answer all question that are asked after the first login.

In the packages section of my kickstart I have: -avahi and I am still getting avahi and all of its rpms installed. I don't want avahi on my servers, how do I specify in a kickstart to NOT install it?

Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble with something and was wondering if anyone else has encountered this or knows what the problem is. I have one computer I would like to kickstart a centos 5.0 or 5.1 install. I have another computer which is the tftpboot server and contains the centos 5.0 and centos 5.1 install directories I wish to do the kickstart over nfs and my network is using MTU

Hi, all. I'm trying to customize a CentOS installation cd, but got trouble with kickstart. I want to use dialog[1] for command line based user interface, but it can't display correctly in kickstart with CentOS 5.5. Same ks file works with CentOS 5.3 (both i386 and x86_64). What's the different between CentOS 5.3/5.5? I can't find it in release notes. And how can i fix it? Thanks

I am trying to mount an nfs drive in the post kickstart section. I am getting an error on "service nfs start" about cannot register service RPC What do I need to start first? jerry

Hi All: Using the following line, I am trying to install Scientific Linux (a RHEL derivative like CentOS), but the installer never sees my kickstart file : virt-install -n test-dev1 --ram=1024 --vcpus=2 --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/root \ --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/swap \ --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/nfs \ --accelerate

Hi, I have alot of kickstart and scripting going on as I provision lots of machines, and every now and then I run into a pesky machine or three that's still got that Adeptec zero-channel RAID card sitting on the board. Normally I like to rip it our and throw something more robust in, but if it's a cache machine or whatever, I leave it in. It makes my kickstart file useless until I
