The kickstart file, which needs to either be located on the boot media or be accessible over the network, is downloaded.Boot the machine from a CD/DVD, a USB device or (most commonly) over the network using PXE and the network protocols Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP) and Trivial File Transfer Protocol ( TFTP).The process of a kickstart installation is as follows: StructureĪ kickstart file consists of a series of options to be passed to the Anaconda installer which describe how to setup the system, optionally it may include custom scripts to be run before and/or after the installation. This file can then be taken and either used to automatically reproduce the same installation or edited (either manually or with system-config-kickstart).
Additionally the standard Red Hat installation program Anaconda will produce a kickstart configuration file at the end of any manual installation process. Kickstart configuration files can be built by hand or using the GUI system-config-kickstart tool. Kickstart is normally used at sites with many Linux systems, to allow easy installation and consistent configuration of new computers being set up.
