Hi@list not familiar to fedora core linux/kick start i`ve got several questions and hope they`ll be answered within this list. In a currrent project i`ve to generate a bootable Fedora Core 2 recovery DVD with specific pre-configured applications (apache/tomcat/....) enclosing a software developed by our company. After investigating i found kickstart, but am not quite sure, if this tool is able to solve my problem. Pre-requisites: 1.) A dedicated hardware platform will be used (using an image can be an option) 2.) Dedicated pre-installed and pre-configured packages have to be available 3.) our proprietary Software shall be installed within this recovery/installation process. 4.) Further options should be integrated into the setup process (e.g. mounting a USB filesystem; Data Backup from USB filesystem) Will that be possible with Kickstart? If not, do you have any suggestions how to automate these tasks? Thank you for replying Ingo -- Lust, ein paar Euro nebenbei zu verdienen? Ohne Kosten, ohne Risiko!
