0cRed Hat Kickstart Mode07
0cRed Hat07 provides a method for unattended installation of a system
using a text configuration file. To enter the kickstart mode, type
0flinux ks <ENTER>07.
Once in this mode, the installation program will expect to be able to use
a bootp server to gain networking information and to bootstrap itself into
the installation.
The installation program looks in the following places for the config file:
o the broadcast server from bootp.
o the bootp server if no other server name is broadcast.
o on the boot floppy if 0flinux ks=floppy <ENTER>07 is given.
The file it looks for is given by the bootp server as either a directory or
an explicit file name. If a directory is given, then kickstart looks for a
file in that directory with the IP of the client as the file name followed
by "-kickstart" (ie. 192.168.0.1-kickstart). If the floppy argument is
given, then it will look for a file named "ks" on that floppy.
