Figure 6.8. Kickstart Profiles
This page lists all profiles for your organization, whether those profiles are active, and the boot

create new kickstart profile link in the upper right or edit existing profiles by clicking in the

4.9.3. Create a New Kickstart Profile
If you are not using RHN Satellite Server, and wish to develop a new kickstart profile, first create
a distribution through the Systems # Kickstart # Distributions page. Refer to Section 4.9.6,
“Kickstart # Distributions — ” for instructions. Once that is done, return to the Kickstart
Overview page to create the Kickstart Profile.
Click on the Create a New Kickstart Profile link from the Systems # Kickstart page to start
the brief wizard that populates the base values needed for a kickstart profile.
1. On the first page, enter a kickstart profile label and select a kickstartable tree for this profile.
The kickstartable tree drop-down menu is only populated if one or more distributions have
been created for the selected base channel.
2. On the second page, select (or enter) the URL of the kickstart tree.
3. On the third page, select a root password for the system. Be sure to follow the password
recommendations from the Password Security section of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
