[CentOS] Possible to reboot a system after kickstart installation without pressing a key?

2010-10-31 Thread Sean Carolan
The subject just about says it all - I'm wondering if there is a way
to do a completely hands-off installation, including the reboot at the
end, without Press any key to continue?

Use the 'reboot' option in your kickstart.

From the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Installation Guide:

...snip
reboot (optional)
Reboot after the installation is successfully completed (no arguments).
Normally, kickstart displays
a message and waits for the user to press a key before rebooting.
The reboot option is roughly equivalent to the shutdown -r command.
snap...

Isn't this the default anyway?  I will try to specify it explicitly
and see how it works...

Looks like that did the trick, thanks Markus!

The default is to ask you for a reboot. Since a newly built system is 
most vulnerable, many people do not want to reboot unless they are there 
to finish the configuration
