Re: Custom installation of Fedora

Thank you Tom,
As I stated in my previous response to Bruno Wolf,  I would love to know of a way to do this to 20-30 systems per day via a kickstart server so I do not even have to interact with the machine other than boot it via the kickstart CD or floppy and let it rip ... I yet have to see a kickstart automatic menu that comes with each Fedora release to make this workable. A kickstart ISO image for installing all options for the release  would be great!
Do one system the hard way. You should end up with a file (/root/anaconda-ks.cfg) that will give a good start on a kickstart that anaconda will use to install all the RPM's you wish.

I do multiple installs every week at work. The kickstart I use has just about everything I need listed with the exception of partitioning. Takes me about 3 minutes to reboot the system to a pxeboot server, setup the partitions I need on that particular system and then I click "Next" and walk away.

If I weren't too concerned about how anaconda partitions I could automate that part as well but the current state of anaconda has removed some options previously available. For a standard one harddrive computer it probably works nicely. But a system with 4 harddrives using software RAID it's a bit on the braindead side.
