Basically what i want to do is boot a system from CD media, pass a boot parameter nfs, and ks= options then walk away, the box goes out to the nfs server, finds the kickstart file, reads, and does it. I've got several machines and i'd rather not do manual installs. Thanks. Dave. Hi,Generate a ks.cfg file either using from previous working machine or just run system-config-kickstart, then have your installation image exported on nfs server as well you're new ks.cfg file, from you're would be kickstart client you can boot and issue:ks=nfsserver:/export/ks.cfg HTH, joseph _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx> http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Doesn't Centos 5 gives you the option of adding yum repos to the kickstart file? So if you add the updates repo then it installs an updated os from the get go? Therefor you wouldn't need the yum update -y
at the end? Jean _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
