Deploying RHEL 4


I have to deploy Red Hat 4 WS to many workstations in a development environment.

How can I put together a build that installs using Kick Start and be deployed from a NFS server?

Requirements

Boot off of CD for NFS install
Combine all 4 CD's into one iso
Add non-distro RPM's to iso
Add special config changes (via scripts or whatever)

Any articles and write-ups you know of might be helpful.

Basically, I'd like to place a CD into the workstation, boot off of it to get the build from server, having it install added packages, and be identically configured for every install.(config changes not covered in Kick Start)

I could use whatever ideas you have on how to go about this.

Chris

Sorry if this sounds obvious, but have you actually searched for and read any Kickstart HOWTO's like http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO...art-HOWTO.html and http://www.puschitz.com/Kickstart.shtml?

Are there any other good sources that go into deeper detail? Almost a step by set thing, listing what ever file does and how to combine all the install CD's?
