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:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 1. Create a cdimage directory:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> mkdir /var/bootcd/cdimage<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 2. Mount and copy the RedHat CD1 contents into the CD image directory.<o:p></o:p> 3. Edit the /isolinux/isolinux.cfg file, add the bold changes below.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> default ks<o:p></o:p> prompt 1<o:p></o:p> timeout 10<o:p></o:p> display boot.msg<o:p></o:p> F1 boot.msg<o:p></o:p> F2 options.msg<o:p></o:p> F3 general.msg<o:p></o:p> F4 param.msg<o:p></o:p> F5 rescue.msg<o:p></o:p> F7 snake.msg<o:p></o:p> label linux<o:p></o:p> kernel vmlinuz<o:p></o:p> append initrd=initrd.img<o:p></o:p> label text<o:p></o:p> kernel vmlinuz<o:p></o:p> append initrd=initrd.img text<o:p></o:p> label expert<o:p></o:p> kernel vmlinuz<o:p></o:p> append expert initrd=initrd.img<o:p></o:p> label ks<o:p></o:p> kernel vmlinuz<o:p></o:p> append ks=nfs:<nfs server IP>:<nfs path to...>/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img<o:p></o:p> label lowres<o:p></o:p> kernel vmlinuz<o:p></o:p> append initrd=initrd.img lowres<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The label ks parameter supports http, nfs, floppy, cdrom and pretty much all /dev devices. See RedHat kickstart docs for specifics.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Note: The kickstart location must be good. By hardcoding it's location, this "Install CD" will always look in the defined location.<o:p></o:p> 4. Create an ISO using mkisofs, or other comparable iso creation tool. (note the below is all 1 line)<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 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 .<o:p></o:p> 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.<o:p></o:p></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV></DIV> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left>-----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 </DIV> <DIV class=Section1> Hello,<o:p></o:p> Can someone layout the steps for creating a kickstart iso from scratch for RHES3.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks,<o:p></o:p></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
