How do I configure kickstart server to install different images

How do I configure kickstart server to install workstation using centos image and other workstation using redhat enterprise image.


I configured my kickstart server to auto install centos 5.3 and it working fine.

However I would like to configure kickstart server, so that workstation with the following IP address range 10.30.1.x to 10.30.60.x to auto-install with a centos image and workstation with IP range of 10.30.65.x to 10.30.220.x with a redhat enterprise 5.6 server image.

Please Note, all workstation are bare without any operating system.


Any help will be well appreciated.

PXE can load a program into a client's memory and start it. However it the easier to manage if you first load a bootloader into the client. The bootloader then loads its configuration file via TFTP from next-server.

Assuming the bootloader you are using is pxelinux, this should help you: How to Install Red Hat Linux via PXE and Kickstart: Bootloader
