Any links to guides or example kickstart files would be great. > I'd suggest grabbing the CentOS server install CD from your favorite mirror (for example: ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/centos/4.4/isos/i386/CentOS-4.4.ServerCD-i386.iso) Then install this on a piece of hardware, customizing during install as you see fit. When the install is complete, you'll find a kickstart file in root's home directory called ananconda-ks.cfg representing the choices you made during install. Either use that directly or tweak further to your needs. -Shawn
