Hey everyone,
I know most of you use nfs or http for kickstart, but I'm trying to do a
CD based one. Basically, I have a backup cd I make of certain software
and system configuration. I'd like to make this CD bootable with a
somewhat dynamic kickstart.
I've got a bootable CD working, the problem comes in when I try to work
with any other files on the CD in conjunction with ks.cfg.
I've found that the %pre doesn't get parsed/evaluated until the actual
SL DVD is inserted and mounted. Proven by:
You mastered your own CD images?
The details on how to this properly depend on the release: Tony Nugent
had the 'net's best guide up to RHL 7.3, and if it still exists, would
apply, with minor adaptations up to RHEL 4; after that, Anaconda
switched to using YUM and then the rulebook got chucked out the window.
Your disk-swapping suggests to me you're using EL4 or earlier, and that
you've mastered it badly. Creating a DVD would not have the problem
(though it might seek lots).
