Hay Group, happy new year !!
I am looking to make a very small kickstart to try to leave the installation of very light hundreds. Both for use of RAM and also to disk.
Follow my kickstart for hundreds 6.6 x64, any suggestions?
look for minimal below https://nazar.karan.org/tree/bluecain and adjust as needed for your use case
Please excuse my remediable ignorance, but according to http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/KickStart, "At https://nazar.karan.org/summary/bluecain.git you can find a collection of ready-made kickstart files. Their primary goal is for testing the CentOS deployment process but they can of course be used for any other purpose."
emphasis on "any other purpose"
And now I find the person who last modified that page offering https://nazar.karan.org/summary/bluecain.git as a source for a solution for a request for help.
FWIW, those minimal-*.cfg files were written by me and I actively use them (adapted when/were needed) for deployments for the clients I work for. I am old fashioned and when I do not have the possibility (or the need ) to use a larger config management / deployment solution, I start from those minimal kickstarts and then install (using ansible) whatever is needed for that specific use case.
If that resource is more than "a git repo for some of the things that I'm working on" as stated on http://wiki.centos.org/KaranbirSingh and, in fact, has been used by several members of the CentOS project as a significant resource for the quality of the deployment process of CentOS and for solutions to support requests, why is it maintained outside the CentOS.org domain?
THAT is a good question. I guess that the priority of transferring them somewhere below git.c.o is pretty low.
