Does anyone know how to automate a CD Centos 5.7 build.?
- new bare bones workstation ( PXE enabled)
- Boot from CD to the boot prompt
- At the boot: linux ks=http://x.x.x.x/ks/cfg/org/1/label/Centos5.7
The workstation is able to connect to the server and the kick-start works great.! Question: how can I automate linux ks=http://x.x.x.x/ks/cfg/org/1/label/Centos5.7 on the CD? Unattended installation after installing the cd into the workstation
Something like that (untested)?
mkdir /tmp/cdrom mount CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o loop cp -a /mnt/cdrom /tmp/cdrom umount /mnt/cdrom cd /tmp/cdrom
vim isolinux/isolinux.cfg default linux ks=http://x.x.x.x/ks/cfg/org/1/label/Centos5.7 timeout 3 chmod u+w isolinux/*
mini iso (without packages): cd /tmp/cdrom mkisofs -o ../mini.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T isolinux/
full iso (with packages): cd /tmp mkisofs -o full.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T cdrom
