Hands off install from CDROM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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
