Current Scenario: I'm using kickstart to install about 60 machines that are part of a batch processing system. There are also another 20 or so machines that are for the development environment and there should also be a QA environment. Think over 100 machines that may require rebuilding whenever there are major modifications, or we inherit newer equipment. So far so good, kickstart has been the greatest thing since sliced bread. The installs happen over NFS with a boot floppy and everything has been fine. Because the batch processing system relies heavy on NFS mounts from a Sun server I'm being told that I need to recompile my kernel on all current and future machines. These modifications are to intended to sync the page sizes for both the Solaris and Linux boxen. Hoping for some recommendations on how to used a different kernel that the one that ships on the CD. So far it seems like I have two options..... Should I figure out a way to do this during the install via modifying anaconda settings? [1] Or should I cp the recompiled Kernel via NFS and then hack at the grub config files while in the %post% section? Also, is there any recommendations for a good book/docs that I should be reading about the internals of kickstart? Already read the kickstart-how-to. [1] Probably cleaner, I'm a total newbie in this area. Thanks in advance Richard
