RE: Kickstart partition question

I'm trying to use Kickstart to install Solaris 8 on a Sparc machine and boot
it up across the network.

And I need to upgrade (transfer) some system files, data files from Linux
box to the new built Solaris box too.

I'm wonderring if Kickstart can do all that?

Thank you,

HN

I don't understand what you are trying to do here.  Kickstart is
designed to install Red Hat Linux.  File transfer between machines and
OS platforms would be done via (secure) ftp, (secure) copy, tar, NFS,
sneaker-net, etc.  Updates of programs can be done many ways and use one
or more of the file-transfer mechanisms listed above.  And booting an OS
from local disk, remote disk, or whatever will be described in the
documentation for that OS.
