I'm new to the list and kickstart technique also. My problem: We have to install 30 clients quickly. clients all should run RH 6.1 with a 2.2.17-14 kernel. (we are bound to that configuration). I have one master machine configured with everything, installed rpms that I need etc. I would like to clone that machine. I cannot afford to boot a stock 6.1 CD or CD image since that would mess the partitions of the clients disks. (> 30GB, if you know what I mean). As far as I understood kickstart needs a kind of RH distribution image or tree on the server. How can I generate an updated distribution tree from an existing installed RH system? How do I generate a boot disk from that distribution? -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
