i want to make my present state of my redhat server (configured) to use as pxe boot image .. so i can install the prefigured server to another system through network boot

i know how to configure pxe server . i use tftp-server
but how to make a install-able state with my current server and settings

hope im clear i think this tecnique is called kickstart
but i have no idea how to do it

If you look in root's home directory, there should be a file called anaconda-ks.cfg -- this is a kickstart configuration file that replicates the installation of the current machine. You can copy this file to some location accessible by a network protocol (IIRC, FTP, HTTP, and NFS are all supported). Once you have your PXE server up and running, you can append the argument "ks=<URL of your kickstart file>" as a kernel argument to one of your boot images. Consult the pxelinux documentation for more information about how to pass arguments to images booted via PXE.

Hope this helps...

It is, but there are some easy things that you should have done:

• Call Red Hat support. Since you're PAYING FOR RHEL (right???), you could ask them how to perform this, and they can walk you through things, and point you to packages and documentation.
• Putting "how to configure kickstart server in red hat linux 6" into Google pulls up lots...the first several hits are from Red Hat's own customer portal, which give you step-by-step directions: https://access.redhat.com/documentat...ickstart2.html
• Looking on the Red Hat customer portal will also tell you how to create a bootable ISO image from a running server: https://access.redhat.com/documentat..._from_RHN.html

Again, since you're using Red Hat Enterprise, you can call Red Hat with questions/concerns, and most of what you're going to ask is covered on their website if you search for it.
