Re: Linux, RH, kickstart and PXE

Hi Mark,

No worries, I'm using 4, and 5 and Fedora 7 with cobbler it all works well.

Some things don't work with 4 but that's b/c the kickstart options only work with 5 and above (i.e. the repo commands).

Anyway, check out: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/cobbler/wiki/UserDocs

b/c once you start with kickstart you're gonna want to template stuff and there's alot already answered at the above link.

Trust me... I feel your pain. From SunOS 2.4 -> Solaris9 and hoping to never go back (though all of my "hip" friends tell me solaris 10 finally got it right)

Good luck.

Cheers,
Harry

Ok. I just wish that wasn't buried in the !Wonders of Cobbler! <g> I will say that I *know* it won't be RHEL 5. 4, one hopes.... (Please, I just spent months, literally, fighting Solaris *8* - production hates current....)

In the latest version (0.6.2) it has a web gui...

I use it all of the time, feel free to ask any questions.

I may take you up on that.

I've been doing the PXE/DHCP kickstart install thing for some time now and cobbler took my 1+hr setup and made it into a 10min deal.

It's great! (and it's by the guys at redhat)

Cheers,
Harry
