I realize this is all documented to some extent, though if anyone can share some real life working fully automatic kickstarts that ignore drive size/type would be really great.


I used to do this sort of thing some years ago, back in the time of RHL 7.x. It was before ks supported include, and before someone mentioned the idea of simply overwriting the ks file.



I'm kind of curious, 'cause I use much the same method as Chip does, by using an include? How would you overwrite the ks file, in situ, so to speak?


makestuff >new.ks
mv new.ks ks.cfg

It seems it does (or did) get reread. It relied on a quirk, and the include was invented to solve the need.

As I implied, I didn't actually do this, but if you go back to the ks archives for 2002 or so (back in the time of RHL 7.x) you should find it mentioned.

Straus out:-) 55/2.




Hmm, where do you call the script that generates the proper file to include? It's too early to execute %pre, right?
