Hey... I'm testing a kickstart file [1] for my "Bare-Bones Server HOWTO" [2], trying to save the reader some time by automating the package selection and removal described in the HOWTO. [1] http://www.simpaticus.com/linux/barebones.ks [2] http://www.simpaticus.com/linux/barebones-server-howto.php <shameless plug>For those who don't know, the "Bare-Bones Server HOWTO" shows the user how to install a server on Fedora Core 3, starting from a minimal install, then trimming the fat to a really small install, then proceeding to lock down the box using reasonable security measures. The idea is that a user can follow this HOWTO, and then add whatever services he/she actually desires to provide knowing that it's built on solid ground. Any comments, critiques, and feedback on the HOWTO is welcome.</plug> That being said, this is my first attempt ever at kickstart and the install is bombing on me: I'm getting "install exited abnormally" every single time. However, since this is the first time I install on this hardware, I cannot be sure whether the problem is in the hardware, the FTP tree from which I am installing, or the kickstart config. Can anyone take a look at the kickstart file and see if I've messed up? Better yet, perhaps run an install using it? I'd appreciate any comments. -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
