We need to create a
CD that will include a minimal Redhat 9 installation and the installation of our
software product, so that all one will have to do is boot a new machine with the
CD and the RH9 and our product will be automatically
installed.
I have gone through
the archives and here's what I understand. Please correct me if I'm
wrong.
Regarding the first
part (automatic minimal installation of RH9), I have 2
options:
1. I can create a
Kickstart installation, e.g. following Brett Schwarz's article - http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6473.
By the way, is there an update of this article for RH9?
2. I can create an
installation CD using buildinstall, e.g. following Luigi Bitonti's article - http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/howto/other-formats/html_single/RedHat-CD-HOWTO.html.
Now, from what I
understand, I can use either one. Right? What are the arguments for each
option?
Regarding the second
part (automatic installation of our product too), is the situation any
different?
And some more
questions:
1. According to
Luigi Bitonti's article, I'm supposed to use splitdistro. But the idea was to
have only 1 CD. So, can I simple use the 1st CD, and ignore the
rest?
2. Do the 2 options
mutually exclude each other, or is there a situation in which I'll combine
them?
3. I don't intend
this CD to be used by a power user, so I want everything to be automatic. I
don't want the user to have to answer questions. Does it mean that I have to
create a kickstart installation CD (in order for all the questions to be
answered in advance)?
Thanks,
Ido
