Important
If your systems are connected to RHN Hosted 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 Satellites 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 7.4.9.6, “Kickstart � Distributions —
”
for instructions on setting up installation trees.
Figure 7.7. Kickstart Overview
This overview page displays the status of kickstart on your client systems: the types and number of
profiles you have created and the progress of systems that are scheduled to be kickstarted. In the
upper right is the
Kickstart Actions
section, which contains a series of links to management actions
for your kickstart profiles. Before explaining the various kickstart options that are available from this
page, the next section provides some introduction to the subject of kickstart.
