similar to: Custom kickstart post section on usb thumbdrive

Hi all, I am trying to find information on taking a DVD of centos 5.2 x86_64 and putting it AND my kickstart file on a USB8G thumbdrive. Note - I am not INSTALLING linux on the USB disk just trying to make installation media for it.

Hey Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has managed to do a network install where the kickstart file is located either on an FTP site (which is also where the packages are stored) or on a USB flash drive. I've tried starting the installer with "linux ks=/dev/sda/ks.cfg" or "linux ks=/dev/sda1/ks.cfg" or "linux ks=ftp://what.ever.Ip.address/pub/ks.cfg" but

Dear Experts, Could somebody point to kicstart HOWTO specific for CentOS 7? On CentOS 7 I somehow am always given human intervention questions about drive which defeats unattended ks install. <rant ??> I'm doing kickstart installations for quite some time, normally I was just installing system when new release comes, and am basing kickstart file on anaconda-ks.cfg - with some

I need to make a iso image with the filesystem like nero does and i need it for the windows platform not for linux... I need something that does not restrict filenames, it doesn't boder me that are shortnames as long as it let's me access the directory or filename. This is the commandline I use to compile my iso file: %BASEDIR%\isolinux\buildcd\win32\mkisofs -r -log-file log.txt -J -l

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
