Hello, I have an USB disk with the rhel/centos DVD content exploded in the root dir. I would like to use it to install rhel. In the kickstart i have:
askmethod and when installing i select harddisk, point it to my usbdisk (/dev/sda1) and anaconda gives an error saying that it can't find the rhel/centos instalation in that directory. For what i've checked, anaconda requires that the harddisk instalation uses cd or dvds isos in the harddisk, but reading http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en- US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2- options.html i see: ######################### install (optional) Tells the system to install a fresh system rather than upgrade an existing system. This is the default mode. For installation, you must specify the type of installation from cdrom, harddrive, nfs, or url (for FTP or HTTP installations). The install command and the installation method command must be on separate lines. cdrom — Install from the first CD-ROM drive on the system. harddrive — Install from a Red Hat installation tree on a local drive, which must be either vfat or ext2. --biospart= BIOS partition to install from (such as 82). --partition= Partition to install from (such as sdb2). --dir= Directory containing the variant directory of the installation tree. For example: harddrive --partition=hdb2 --dir=/tmp/install-tree ############################################ It states that the directory in my harddisk/USB stick should contain the "variant" directory of the installation tree. Does anyone know how can i install from an exploded tree?
