I am a little confused with how kickstart is configured and worked in spacewalk. the linux distribution I am trying to used to kickstart is oracle linux 6.6
here is my steps: 1. setup distribution tree mount -o loop /var/spacewalk/iso-image/OracleEnterpriseLinux6.6x86_64.iso /var/spacewalk/dstro-truees/ol6.6-x86_64 2. create a distribution in spacwalk web UI login to spacewalk web UI, click Systems, Kickstart, then Distributions, create new distribution Distribution Label: oraclelinux6-x86_64 Tree Path: /var/spacewalk/distro-trees/ol6.6-x86_64 Base Channel: Oracle Linux 6 (X86_64) Installer Generation: RedHat Enterprise Linux 6 click on Create Kickstart Distribution. after It created, I can see it has check mark in Valid?* field. when I click on the newly created distribution oraclelinux6-x86_64, I can see it has another tab call Variables. there are two variables defined in there: media_path=/ks/dist/oraclelinux6-x86_64 org=2 my confusion: should I change media_path? I later see it get used in my kickstart profile I created use this distribution tree. # Kickstart config file generated by Spacewalk Config Management # Profile Label : oraclelinux66-x86_64-ks # Date Created : Wed Apr 22 08:01:17 EDT 2015 install text network --bootproto dhcp url --url http://sbrh1.clemson.edu/ks/dist/oraclelinux6-x86_64 when I try to browse this url in the browser, I do not see anything. in fact there is no such directory exist in apache DocumentRoot. it only has /var/www/html/ks/dis/org/2 and the directory is empty. manually copy os installation cd content there? my understanding is url --url http://sbrh1.clemson.edu/ks/dist/oraclelinux6-x86_64 should contain entire os installation cd contents right? I also see this in kickstart profile: wget "http://sbrh1.clemson.edu/cblr/svc/op/trig/mode/pre/profile/oraclelinux66-x86_64-ks:2:ClemsonUniversityCCITISO"; -O /dev/null I do not see that directory in DocumentRoot of apache either. I am new to kickstart. my understanding is those files should be available through http so kickstart can work. am I missing something? here is how I created kickstart profile: Label: Base Channel: Oracle Linux 6 (x86_64) Kickstartable Tree: oraclelinux6-x86_64 Always use the newest Tree for this base channel. "Newest" is determined by the date it was last modified. (checked) click Next Default Download: /ks/dist/org/2/oraclelinux6-x86_64 Custom Download Location: again this directory /ks/dist/org/2/oraclelinux6-x86_64 appears again. should I copy cd contents to /var/www/html//ks/dist/org/2/oraclelinux6-x86_64 and make it available to through http? Thanks, Yang
