Note that
isolinux/
is the relative path to the directory containing the isolinux files from
the distribution CD, while
file.iso
is the output ISO file, which is placed into the current
directory.
You may then burn the ISO to CD-ROM. To use the disc (assuming you left the label for
the kickstart boot as ’ks’), boot the system and type "ks" at the prompt. When you press
[Enter], the kickstart should begin.
6.4.10.12. Integrating Kickstart with PXE
In addition to CD-ROM-based installs, RHN supports kickstarts through a Pre-Boot Ex-
ecution Environment (PXE). This is less error-prone than CDs, enables kickstarting from
bare metal, and integrates with existing PXE/DHCP environments.
To use this method, make sure your systems have network interface cards (NIC) that sup-
port PXE, install and configure a PXE server, ensure DHCP is running, and then place the
appropriate files on an HTTP server for deployment. Once the kickstart profile has been
created, use the URL from the Kickstart Details page, as for CD-ROM-based installs.
To obtain specific instructions for conducting PXE kickstarts, refer to the PXE Network
Installations chapter of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 System Administration Guide .
Tip
Upon running the Network Booting Tool as described in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4:
System Administration Guide, ensure that you select "HTTP" as the protocol and include
the domain name of the RHN Satellite Server in the Server field if you intend to use it to
distribute the installation files.
