Hello,
Does anyone have a guide for setting up an nfs server for
unattended
deployment of centos5? 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

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
I've always wondered about that, and also about the option
of creating a (for example) 4.5 CD (ie the 4.0 iso with the
updated packages included/replaced so that the end result is
a 4.5 machine even before you do a 'yum update'.
Can anyone shed some light?
