[COLUG] Kickstart howto...

[Tom Hanlon]

Hey folks,

Contemplating kickstart.

My scenario is this..

I am faced with a room of 12 identical machines. I put the centos DVD  
in machine one and install. No huge hassles, I tweaked the BIOS for  
some SATA ahcpi or something or other and then I started with linux- 
general-ide=all or something and nommconf..

So it installs and it looks good.

How do I clone that install with kickstart ?

Do I just grab the /root/anaconda.ks file and somehow make that  
available to the next machine, boot from the DVD again but pass the  
installer the kickstart script ?

Most Kickstart installs assume something more complicated than what I  
face. What would be the quick steps for me to kickstart a roomfull of  
machines?

Would I be better off making one a server and netboot ?

Any help or advice including links to good docs are always welcome.

Regards,

Tom
