- 0cRed Hat Kickstart Mode07
-
- 0cRed Hat07 provides a method for unattended installation of a system
- using a text configuration file. To enter the kickstart mode, type
- 0flinux ks <ENTER>07.
-
- Once in this mode, the installation program will expect to be able to use
- a bootp server to gain networking information and to bootstrap itself into
- the installation.
-
- The installation program looks in the following places for the config file:
- o the broadcast server from bootp.
- o the bootp server if no other server name is broadcast.
- o on the boot floppy if 0flinux ks=floppy <ENTER>07 is given.
-
- The file it looks for is given by the bootp server as either a directory or
- an explicit file name. If a directory is given, then kickstart looks for a
- file in that directory with the IP of the client as the file name followed
- by "-kickstart" (ie. 192.168.0.1-kickstart). If the floppy argument is
- given, then it will look for a file named "ks" on that floppy.
