Re: Templates for kickstart files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



You could just create a RH6.2 cd with all the kickstart files on the cd (1
per server), and then modify syslinux to do a ks=cdrom:/... for each
server.  This way you could just send them a well tested cd and tell them
to type one command for each server.  Of course this only works if each
server has a cdrom, otherwise I'd say you're opening yourself up for some
huge headaches should the remote ISP tech not jump through the proper
hoops for you.
