greetings.
need to create a kick start file from an already installed system so that i can reinstall system without having to go thru all the package selections.
system also has packages install from other sources.
read the centos wiki pages for kick start files, did not find info for such. either it is not there or i missed it.
tia.

If you mean other Yum repositories, you need to add them using the “repo” syntax, as described here:

yes. the link seems to be what i am looking for. seems, because i did a quick skim of what is there. also back up to start of Chapter 32. Kickstart Installations so i can read all of what is written on kickstart.
any hints beyond what is there?
thank you for replying. greatly appreciated.

It shows what packages and groups you would need to install, and/or exclude to re-create the packages on your system. -f kickstart tells it to output in kickstart %package section format, so you can quite literally copy and paste the output into your kickstart file.

after looking thru above guide, it hit me that my search was improper.
tried search again using single word 'kickstart'.
a big diff.
best of which;
https://geekpeek.net/kickstart-file-centos/
shows step by step instructions with graphics of the 'kickstart configurator'.
much better then what the red hat and centos instructions show, and all contained on 1 page. ;=)
again, thanks for your help. you put me in right direction and correct spelling.
