Nothing fancy, just the basics. You can replace the append ks= with ks=cdrom:/<path on CD to kickstart>.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Hope this helps.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Basic steps to create a basic custom RedHat "Install CD" from an existing RedHat install: 1. Create a cdimage directory: mkdir /var/bootcd/cdimage 2. Mount and copy the RedHat CD1 contents into the CD image directory. 3. Edit the /isolinux/isolinux.cfg file, add the bold changes below. default ks prompt 1 timeout 10 display boot.msg F1 boot.msg F2 options.msg F3 general.msg F4 param.msg F5 rescue.msg F7 snake.msg label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img label text kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img text label expert kernel vmlinuz append expert initrd=initrd.img label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks=nfs:<nfs server IP>:<nfs path to...>/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img label lowres kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lowres The label ks parameter supports http, nfs, floppy, cdrom and pretty much all /dev devices. See RedHat kickstart docs for specifics. Note: The kickstart location must be good. By hardcoding it's location, this "Install CD" will always look in the defined location. 4. Create an ISO using mkisofs, or other comparable iso creation tool. (note the below is all 1 line) mkisofs -o ../installcd.iso -V 'AppCD' -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -V -T . 5. The "Install CD" iso is now ready to be burnt, mounted or virtually used by a VM. When booted in the appliance, the loader will initiate the ks.cfg install within 10 milliseconds.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-TOP: 5pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 5pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0in"> -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Brian Zuromski Sent: November 19, 2004 10:33 AM To: kickstart-list@redhat.com Subject: kickstart Hello, Can someone layout the steps for creating a kickstart iso from scratch for RHES3.
