Finally found the kickstart script editor... The graphical install utility for kickstart on Fedora 5 is system-config-kickstart. According to one web page I found, ksconfig is now deprecated. The RPMs required are on the Fedora DVD:
pykickstart-0.23-1.noarch.rpm system-config-kickstart-2.6.6-4.noarch.rpm To edit an existing kickstart script, e.g. the one Fedora creates on install, run with: system-config-kickstart /root/anaconda-ks.cfg It can be *very* slow in starting. Steve. PS: Can anyone edit wiki pages to add this sort of info, or are changes more controlled than that? --- Bernard Li <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Steve: > > On a running Red Hat/Fedora system, the command is > "ksconfig" - you > might need to install the package (RPM) if it > doesn't exist. > > Cheers, > > Bernard > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Steven Blackburn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 16:47 > > To: Bernard Li; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Ted Powell; > > [email protected] > > Subject: RE: [Oscar-devel] Problem installing on > FC5 > > > > I used the anaconda-ks.cfg file in /root which > Fedora > > puts there during an install.
