RH Kickstart Questions..
Hello,
I am pretty new to using Linux and learning as I go, my setup is extremly simple, I have 1 virtual machine running on my laptop running (ubuntu 10.04), I've created a kickstart (Red Hat) file with the ksconfig.
So I know have a config file for my Redhat.iso and my VM machine.
What's next?
Sorry I am just confused, usually I would create an iso and make it bootable and call my config when it boots, but not really sure how todo it here..
Tools:
Virtualbox - on my laptop (nothing fancy)
Redhat.ISO - DVD
1 config file
Whats the next step? Basically, I want to make a DVD, my second part is to make it install off a network.. (that's part II)
Any guidance would be great
Thank You and looking forward ..
