We have a USB key that has a tarfile of CentOS and our software on it The script partitions the hard drive and untars the tarfile - this takes about 2 minutes vs using a custom kickstart file which takes 20 to 30 minutes. So we build a CentOS respin iso image along with our software - install it into a virtual machine and at the end of the install the ks file creates a tarfile from the new image. We then move this image to the USB key. In CentOS 5.x all I had to do was create a .profile file in / and it would get ran. CentOS 6.x doesn't run the .profile - -- Stephen Clark *NetWolves* Director of Technology Phone: 813-579-3200 Fax: 813-882-0209 Email: steve.clark at netwolves.com http://www.netwolves.com
