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>
You'll need the xlibs and also xauth (for tunnelling ssh)
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?
Yeah, short answer is that redhat sucks on this! Haha, maybe that's a
bit harsh but I really like lynx. They have links and w3m for text
browsing. You can get the mysql server from mysql.com (or .org)
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.
Yes, use post scripts to determine something unique about the server
(perhaps fqdn). I use cfengine to do things like this.
I hope these questions make sense, i wrote them off and on over a period of
8 hours.
thanks
Anoop
Cheers,
Harry
