Proper location of ks.cfg file

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

 



Hello, all -

I've been toying around with Kickstart-based installations, and even gone as far as making a PHP page that dynamically generates a kickstart install file, that is available over HTTP kickstart, for a specific machine based on MAC address.

However, I have never been able to completely automate the process. I've always had to specify ks= at the command-prompt.

I've seen several documents that mention how a kickstart file is initialized, but very few that seem sure on the physical location on disk of the ks.cfg file. Some say inside isolinux/, some say on the root of the disk. Others I've read say that this "cannot be done". Even RedHat's own Administartor's Guide isn't particularly clear.

So I guess what I'm asking here is, what should the physical location of the ks.cfg file be? I suppose I can manipulate this, relative to the disk layout, by editing syslinux.cfg, but I'd rather do it the right way, and not have to create some dirty hack for this issue.

Thanks for your time
