I just saw RedHat's write up for the up coming release of RedHat Commercial Linux 5.0. It includes what their calling "kickstart" and sounds like they hit the mark. No doubt its modeled after JumpStart, but I couldn't get any details from their web site. The fact that its here already is a good thing for linux. But how does this impact debian? We've identified the need for such functionality, but haven't come to agreement on how to provide it. When we do, do we try to be kickstart compatable or JumpStart compatable or either?
In any case I find it inspiring that Linux now has a professional style, hands free network installation method. As long as its GPL'd, I'm sure we could leverage it for our benefit to some degree -- even if our autoinstall implementation differs. I'm very interested in this in general, so I'll be looking into kickstart as soon as documentation on it is available on the redhat web site. If anyone knows of another source for the kickstart details, please let me know.
