Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux Anaconda/Kickstart
Chapter 1. Introduction
What are Kickstart Installations?
Many system administrators would prefer to use an automated installation method to install Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux on their machines. To answer this need, Red Hat created the kickstart installation method. Using kickstart, a system administrator can create a single file containing the answers to all the questions that would normally be asked during a typical installation.
Kickstart files can be kept on a server system and read by individual computers during the installation. This installation method can support the use of a single kickstart file to install Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux on multiple machines, making it ideal for network and system administrators.
How Do You Perform a Kickstart Installation?
Kickstart installations can be performed using a local CD-ROM, a local hard drive, or via NFS, FTP, or HTTP.
To use kickstart, you must:
- Create a kickstart file.
- Create a boot diskette with the kickstart file or make the kickstart file available on the network.
- Make the installation tree available.
- Start the kickstart installation.
This chapter explains these steps in detail.
