6.4.9. Kickstart —
To satisfy the provisioning needs of customers, RHN provides this interface for developing kickstart
profiles that can be used to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on either new or already-registered
systems. This enables systems to be installed automatically to particular specifications.
Important
If your systems are connected to the central RHN Servers, you will need an external
installation tree for each distribution to be kickstarted. This tree can be hosted
anywhere that is accessible by the target system via HTTP. If the systems are
connected through an RHN Proxy Server, then you may place the installation tree
in
/var/www/html/pub/
on the Proxy. RHN Satellite Servers already have a tree
for each Red Hat distribution and therefore do not require separate trees. Even if the
system connects through an RHN Proxy Server to get to the Satellite, these trees
will be available for kickstart. Refer to
Section 6.4.9.6, “Kickstart � Distributions —
”
for instructions on setting up installation trees.
