Kick Start

Red Hat Linux operating system installations can be done via a network connection using a Kickstart server. It is frequently much faster than using CDs and the process can be automated.

 Example Kickstart 
 Get the kickstart cfg from http server and start the install
   boot: linux ks=http://server.com/path/to/kickstart/file

 Get the kickstart cfg from nfs server and start the install
   boot: linux ks=nfs:server:/path/to/kickstart/file

 Serving the Kickstart file from nfs server through dhcp /etc/dhcpd.conf
   next-server 10.10.10.100;
   filename "/export/rhinstall/kickstart/ks.cfg"
