Hello,
I'm trying to do a hands off install from cdrom for
RH8. What i've done so far:
1. copy all 3 cds to a directory on my
hd.
2. trim out the packages I don't need.
3. rebuilt the hdlist.
4. created my kickstart file including delete all
partitions and create new ones.
5. mounted the dosutils/autoboot/initrd image, and
copy my ks.cfg into the /tmp directory
on the image. Unmount
it.
6. Edit the /isolinux/isolinux.cfg, and set
ks=file.
7. Made an ISO image with:
mkisofs -o ../linux.iso -V 'RH Install'
\
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table . 8. Burn the cd with:
cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=0,0,0
linux.iso
Boot it on my test machine, and anaconda doesn't
seem to see my kickstart file as it asks
for langauge etc. If I select the
options, it still says it can't find the redhat cd. Does the
RPM-GPG-KEY
need to be rebuilt?
Any other ideas? I need just a simple
install, but the computers these will get installed
to won't have any keyboard/mouse/monitor hooked up
(print servers).
Thanks for any pointers.
-TB
