I have been trying to locate Fedora Core 3 Kickstart installation docs, but I am having no luck. Is there a site I can go to for this or is the kickstart install a carbon copy of the Red Hat Linux Kickstart documentation?

Thanks

There's a brief explanation of Kickstart in the current Fedora Installation Guide:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora...tallation.html

The technology hasn't changed radically, so the latest RHEL documentation should be fine for options and other information.

Hob,

Thanks for the reply. I am still having trouble though the brief mentions I have seen for kickstart never include how to use the %include directive. I am having a bear of a time getting the include to work so I can maintain a separate package list. All of the attemps I have made to use %include have failed so I would love an in depth discussion of how this works in fedora core 4. Any idea where I can find detailed instructions for this directive? Here is what I have tried so far:


%include packages
%include ./packages
%include /var/build/linux/packages
%include http://10.10.10.52/packages

None have worked

The official reference that I found doesn't say much:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/e...2-options.html

Google turns up this, which may be a good start point:

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/ce...ch/061919.html

You could also ask on Red Hat's Kickstart mailing list:

https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list

HTH

The centOS piece was interesting and there was some good info in there except I am not sure why he was using /opt/kickstart, unless that was the actual directory on his NFS server that held his kickstart files. The mailing list is a good idea...
