I just finished using MS Windows 98 batch setup for a friend to
automate the installation of 98SE, and it dawned on me that it
would be nice to have a similar utility in Red Hat Linux for
automating the configuration of machines beforehand.Is there such a GUI install tool available for kickstart yet? If
not, how useful do people think it would be? If you haven't used
Windows batch setup, basically it asks you all the questions
windows would for an install, only via a nice GUI interface in a
running Windows setup. It allows deeper configureation than the
default normal windows install, and it saves all your pickings to
a "whatever.inf" file which you pass to the setup.exe program
very much like a kickstart file.It is a very fast way to spit off multiple configs for machines.
If no such util exists, please let me know if you are interested
and I'll try and generate more interest and perhaps get a project
going.TTYL
