[SOLVED] auto install RHEL cd

jt1 · 03-02-2011, 10:20 PM

Hello All,

I was wondering if it is possible to edited the default RHEL CD to have it automatically install RHEL based off of a kickstart file that I will store locally on the CD. My plan would be to put a cd in a server and have the OS automatically being installed.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

Yes, that's possible. Have a look at the RedHat documentation about kickstart. Basically, in a few simple words, you get an ISO, mount it, copy it's contents (watch out for hidden files), create and add your kickstart file and create an ISO which you then burn to CD/DVD.

Kind regards,

Eric

Perfect! Thanks for the help. I can't believe it would be that simple.

Hi,

Glad you found an answer to your question. Once you get how it works it isn't difficult at all, just needs some time.

Kind regards,
