Appendix D. Sample Kickstart configuration template files

This appendix contains sample Kickstart configuration template files for both RedHat 7.1 and RedHat 7.2. If you are using RedHat 7.1, see RedHat 7.1 Kickstart configuration template file. If you are using RedHat 7.2, see RedHat 7.2 Kickstart configuration template file.

Note that there are particular variables in the Kickstart configuration template and the generated file in the format #VARIABLE# that must not be deleted. Many of these are automatically customized with the appropriate values during the process of generating the Kickstart configuration file. For example, the following are some of the variables that are automatically customized:

#MGMTSVR_HOSTNAME#
Replaced with the host name of the management server.

#NFS_HOSTNAME#
Replaced with the host name of the management server.

#NFS_DIR#
Replaced with the directory on the management server that contains the Red Hat installation images (/csminstall/Linux/RedHat/Version/MachineArchitecture). For example, /csminstall/Linux/RedHat/7.1/i386.
