My FC6 install was fine against my personal repo over HTTP. My F7 was fine, but quite quite slow. I could watch the http access log and tell it was still working though. My F7 kickstart file which hasn't been optimized but basically it looks like this: ## upgrade or install? install # upgrade ## comment out if you want the machine to wait for you to reboot manually reboot ## install source on URL or CDROM? url --url http://ks/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/x86_64/os #cdrom ## use text mode install since i'll be spying on the serial console text skipx lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us timezone America/Los_Angeles ## network setup network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp #network --device eth1 --onboot no --bootproto dhcp ## we'll redo firewalling by hand later firewall --enabled --port=22:tcp ## this could be annoying for now so leave it off selinux --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 ## change this after install rootpw something ################################################################################ # Setup the disk drives. # Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr # nuke all existing partitions clearpart --all --initlabel # raw partition for boot and a LVM physical volume on remainder part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part pv.01 --size=1 --grow # LVM setup on physical volume volgroup VG0 pv.01 logvol / --fstype=ext3 --name=LVRoot --vgname=VG0 --size=512 logvol /var --fstype=ext3 --name=LVVar --vgname=VG0 --size=1024 logvol /var/www --fstype=ext3 --name=LVVarWww --vgname=VG0 --size=2048 logvol /usr --fstype=ext3 --name=LVUsr --vgname=VG0 --size=2048 logvol /home --fstype=ext3 --name=LVHome --vgname=VG0 --size=100 logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LVSwap --vgname=VG0 --size=512 # install grub bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=xvda --append="console=xvc0" %packages vim-enhanced ################################################################################ # Final Configuration %post --nochroot cp /tmp/ks.cfg /mnt/sysimage/root/install-ks.cfg cp /proc/cmdline /mnt/sysimage/root/install-cmdline %post echo xvc0 >> /etc/securetty # this was done auto on FC6 domU echo "co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 9600 vt100-nav" >> /etc/inittab # we'll use these values in the extended final config EMAIL=root@mail DIST=f7 MAC_ADDR=`ifconfig eth0 | grep HWaddr | \ sed -e 's/^.*HWaddr \([A-Fa-f0-9:]*\).*$/\1/; s/:/-/g;'` # put /tmp on swap cuz it's fast and junk goes away on reboot echo -e "none\t\t\t/tmp\t\t\ttmpfs\tdefaults\t0 0" >> /etc/fstab # setup root's profile echo 'alias vi=vim' >> /root/.bash_profile # I want to know about things... echo -e "root:\t\t$EMAIL" >> /etc/aliases newaliases # tell daddy we are all done cat /root/install.log /root/install-ks.cfg \ | mail -s "${DIST} ks install ${MAC_ADDR}" $EMAIL -- Dale Bewley - Unix Administrator - Shields Library - UC Davis GPG: 0xB098A0F3 0D5A 9AEB 43F4 F84C 7EFD 1753 064D 2583 B098 A0F3 -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
