User's / Admin Guide? FAQ?

Wed Sep 28 07:45:44 UTC 2005

Hi,

the official Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Administration Guide devotes
two chapters to Kickstart.

Its available in both PDF and HTML form directly from Red Hat. Here is the
URL to the HTML version:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/

Take a look at chapters 1 and 2.

Don't forget that some things don't work with RHEL 2.1 like they do with 3
and 4 (most importantly RHEL 2.1 doesn't support the %include tag.)

Cheers,

Christian

Here are some URL's I've found over the years.  Some are old, some are
irrelevant I'm sure, but this is everything I've found and thought
significant enough to bookmark:

I sympathize.

I got started using the docs that come with Anaconda, under
/usr/share/doc
iirc.
