Hi all,
I used to do manual installs so I would set the timezone each time. I have now migrated to kickstart and I wish to use a command line (at boot) parameter to set the needed timezone.
I am familiar with timeconfig and that works. I tried timeconfig --help (looking for command line arguments) and there appears to not be a command line way that I see to set the timezone.
I have seen mention of changing symbolic links and stuff - but I was hoping for a system command to change the timezone. Like "timeconfig --zone Denver" or "timeconfig --zone Mountain" something like that.
Is there something like that or do I have to use the symbolic links?
Thanks,
Jerry

What's wrong with the KS Timezone command? Why do it via cmdline or w/ symbolic links??

On first thought I didnt want to have X different KS files for setting the timezone... however, I can use the command line method I was thinking about... then use the %pre section to make use of the KS timezone command.
Thanks - I just wasnt thinking straight yet this morning.

If you have lots of KS files you can use %include
%include mysite-standard-stuff.ks
In that file add standard stuff like:
timezone US/Los_Angeles lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us auth --useshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing
Keep it simple..... There is a tool to flatten KS files out there that can be of help (used it once). Use a revision control system for your KS files too.
