If you run an interactive installation on a single machine, selecting the components that you want installed, the partition layout and so forth, that machine will generate a kickstart file for you to replicate other machines with located in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg. You can alter this file as you so choose and use it to then install other machines by passing it the ks= options for protocol, locations and whatnot.
Thank you for reminding me about that option to generate a basic kickstart file. That's worth doing to get and example kickstart file to work on later.
Adding multimedia repos can be managed as part of the kickstarts post process to add things like RPMFusion, EPEL, ATRPMS and any other third party repo that you want. Once the repositories are available you can then install components from them.
Are the 6 repos still the same as the 5 - apart from the version change from 5.x to 6.x ?
As a side note, have a look at the documentation for kickstart and more specifically the "repo" options. You can include updates as part of the OS installation ending up with a host that has all updates applied during installation so that when it boots you have a fully patched system when rolled out.
Are you referring to the RH docs or Centos website & wiki docs here James?
Kind Regards,
Keith
