Hi, I am currently setting up a kickstart server and attempting to install without the X environment. So far, it seems to be working with everything i need. However, when installing Oracle 9i, I realized that an X environment is needed. I read someplace that it would work if i only installed the X libs and then used something like ssh -X <server> Also, I'd like to setup some sort of local build server so that machines in my DMZ can get updates locally without having to go out to the web. Are there any recommendations on how to do this for RHEL 3 on machines without X ? Somethings i found were missing from the rpms in cds 1-4, such as mysql-server and also lynx. Are those not shipped with RHEL3 and why not? Lastly, is there any sort of way to use kickstart to build a base system and then perhaps automate a way to with maybe another kickstart file to install X on selected boxes. that way the installation method is automated and a person can select which type of machine they need. I hope these questions make sense, i wrote them off and on over a period of 8 hours. thanks Anoop -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
