Hi, I am installing Fedora 20 to my servers using PXE boot + Kickstart mechanisms, so that it is fully automatic. It works well. However, there is one basic problem I cannot solve - How do I follow the installation progress? Here is the issue: sometimes the installation is fast, sometimes it is slow, and sometimes it dies in the middle (e.g., the repository, which is remote, becomes unavailable). Currently I have a simple time-out solution. If the installation does not finish within 45 minutes, I assume that it failed. My scripts just wait for a '/tmp/post-finished' file to be created, and I create it from the '%post' section of the KS file. Instead, what I would like to do, is to follow the package installation log. Like the one that I see in VGA: Installing package A Installing package B .... But the problem is that this log is not available anywhere but the VGA display. I googled around, people mention some install.log file, but it does not exist in my case. I also saw that there is an option to make anaconda send log message to a remote syslog, but this would not be a good solution for me. I'd really prefer anaconda to log to a file (and flush the stream), and let me follow the log. Is this possible, any suggestions? Thanks in advance! -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
