The following
script puts the following kickstart files to the appropriate places in the first
disc of RH 7.2.
Suppose
directory "disc1" includes the contents of the 1'st disc and
you would like to install the following files
in their
appropriate places: ks.cfg, syslinux.cfg and
optionally, your own modified customer.msg, instead of the
default
boot.msg file.
Note: syslinux.cfg
includes ...ks=file:/ks.cfg... , instead of
ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg (that worked fine in RH 6.2)
[1]. The
update script:
#!/bin/sh
BASE=`pwd`
#
# mount
cdboot.img
mount -o loop $BASE/disc1/dosutils/autoboot/cdboot.img
/mnt/floppy
# decompress the memory filesystem on the floppy
gzip -dc
/mnt/floppy/initrd.img > floppy.initrd
# create temporary
directory
mkdir /tmp/redhat
# mount the compressed filesystem from the
floppy
mount -o loop floppy.initrd /tmp/redhat
# install the ks.cfg
file into the / directory on the memory filesystem
install -c -m 644
ks.cfg /tmp/redhat
# install the syslinux.cfg file into
the memory filesystem on the floppy
install -c -m 644 syslinux.cfg
/mnt/floppy
install -c -m 644 custom.msg
/mnt/floppy
umount /tmp/redhat
gzip -9
floppy.initrd
\mv -f floppy.initrd.gz
/mnt/floppy/initrd.img
umount -f /mnt/floppy
rmdir
/tmp/redhat

I hope
to your success. I used this method with no
problems!

Dear Sir,
I modify redhat
7.2 distribution. I add my own packages. I put ks.cfg in first cdrom
(bootable). I use image/boot.img as a boot image when I run mkisofs. This CD
can boot. But it can not install when I use ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg when I boot it.
The screen reports that "Can not find redhat cdrom...". However, If
I move use ks.cfg from floppy disk with this cdrom. It works fine. Would you
please tell me how to solve these problems.
Thanks,
Theewara
