Greetings, I'm having problems to create a Kickstart disk; After the instalation starts a Prompt apperars asking me for the Languaje, Keyboard and othr settings as i never putted in the ks.cfg file!. Here are the steps i'm following to install Redhat 7.0 using kickstart: 1) I created the boonet disk using dd under linux: dd if=bootnet.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 2) Then i copied my ks.cfg file to the disk: mount /mnt/floppy cp ks.cfg /mnt/floppy/ ls /mnt/floppy/ boot.msg general.msg ks.cfg param.msg snake.msg template.img expert.msg initrd.img ldlinux.sys rescue.msg syslinux.cfg vmlinuz 3) I ran the installation, typed on the boot prompt: linux ks=floppy and then i got the Languaje dialog. I tested my NFS server and in other of the virtual consoles i saw a message saying than the instalation was able to mount the distribution. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Here is my kickstart file: lang en_US network --bootproto static --ip 10.1.20.103 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 10.1.20.1 --nameserver 10.1.20.200 --hostname linux0103 nfs --server 10.1.20.200 --dir /export/linux/redhatlinux_i386_7.0 keyboard us zerombr yes clearpart --all part /boot --size 20 part / --size 700 --grow part swap --size 256 part /var --size 300 install mouse genericps/2 timezone --utc US/Eastern skipx on rootpw --iscrypted XaozfUK1CMopA auth --useshadow --enablemd5 lilo --location mbr lilo --append 'console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600' reboot %packages @ Base @ Server @ Kernel Development @ GNOME @ KDE @ X Window System @ Network Management Workstation @ Development @ Kernel Development %post mkdir /nfs mount 10.1.20.200:/export/linux/ /nfs ln -s /bin/gawk /usr/bin/nawk ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d /etc/init.d cp /nfs/custom-monitor/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.allow cp /nfs/custom-monitor/hosts.deny /etc/hosts.deny echo '#Set login time out for the root account.' echo 'export TMOUT=7200' >> /etc/profile echo '# Limit the size of the history files' >> /etc/profile echo 'HISTFILESIZE=20' >> /etc/profile echo 'HISTSIZE=20' >> /etc/profile echo 'Recommended optimization flags For CPU i686 or PentiumPro, Pentium II, Pentium III' >> /etc/profile echo 'export CFLAGS=-O9 -funroll-loops -ffast-math -malign-double -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions' >> /etc/profile echo 'rm -f $HOME/.bash_history' >> /etc/skel/.bash_logout echo '#Linux Kernel tunnable parameters - josevnz@xxxxxxxxx - 11/20/2001' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo '#http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo 'net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo '# Disables IP source routing' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo 'net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo '# Disable ICMP Redirect Acceptance' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo 'net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo '# Enable bad error message Protection' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo 'net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses = 1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo '# Enable IP spoofing protection, turn on Source Address Verification' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo 'net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo '# Log Spoofed Packets, Source Routed Packets, Redirect Packets' >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo 'net.ipv4.conf.all.log_martians = 1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf userdel adm userdel lp userdel sync userdel shutdown userdel halt userdel news userdel uucp userdel operator userdel gopher userdel ftp groupdel adm groupdel lp groupdel news groupdel uucp groupdel pppusers groupdel popusers groupdel slipusers chattr +i /etc/services cp /nfs/custom-monitor/nsswitch.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf cp /nfs/custom-common/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf cp /nfs/custom-common/host.conf /etc/host.conf /bin/echo "10.1.20.103 linux0103.dev.xxx.bogus linux0103" >> /etc/hosts cat /nfs/custom-common/passwd >> /etc/passwd cat /nfs/custom-common/shadow >> /etc/shadow mkdir -p /export/home/access cp -rp /etc/skel/ /export/home/access chown access:users /export/home/access rpm -Uvh /nfs/custom-common/*.rpm rpm -Uvh /nfs/custom-monitor/*.rpm /sbin/chkconfig --del sendmail /sbin/chkconfig --del sound /sbin/chkconfig --del gpm /sbin/chkconfig --del identd /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 snmpd on /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 ntpd on if !
