Over the last couple of weeks, additional software was installed using the package manager.
I would like to get a custom kickstart file created for our system. For this, I would like to get complete list of software installed so they may be add to the kickstart file package selection.
Can anyone tell me if this can be done? If it can, please give me instructions?
This will give you a list of installed packages:
yum list installed
Finally, where on the installation cd's would I place this kickstart file ?
You should have a file, /root/anaconda-ks.cfg, that was built when the system was installed which you can use as a starting point to see how things should be done.
We normally use network installs starting with the minimal network install CD. The configuration goes in the base directory of the disk, often as ks.cfg which is specified at the boo prompt
Linux: ks=cdrom:ks.cfg
We have a few variants of this such as ksvmware.cfg to install in VMware virtural machines which we configure a bit differently than we do on-hardware systems.
