I'm not a kickstart expert, but what "jumps out at me" is the fact you are formatting your floppy disk as msdos .
On the surface, this seems odd to me; as I would expect you to format a kickstart floppy disk with a different filesystem.
Of course, If you want a blank Linux formatted floppy, then you can use the command mke2fs. This will create an ext2 formatted disk.

Hi there,
I've started playing around with Linux a few days back, as part of my intenship. I was wondering if there is anyway I can install custom packages (non RPM packages...say like Oracle) as a part of Kickstart. My machines are running RHEL 4.
Thanks a lot :) (1 Reply)

authconfig
AUTHCONFIG(8) System Manager's Manual AUTHCONFIG(8)
NAME
authconfig - an interface for configuring system authentication resources
SYNOPSIS
authconfig [--back] [--test] [--nostart] [--kickstart] [--probe] [--enablecache] [--disablecache] [--enablenis [--nisdomain <domain>]
[--nisserver <nisserver[,nisserver...]>] ] [--disablenis] [--enableshadow] [--disableshadow] [--enablemd5] ] [--disablemd5] ] [--enableldap
[--enableldapauth] [--enableldapssl] [--ldapserver <ldapserver>] [--ldapbasedn <basedn>] ] [--disableldap] [--disableldapauth]
[--enablekrb5 [ --krb5realm <realm> ] [--krb5kdc <hostname[,hostname,...]>] [--disablekrb5] [--krb5adminserver <hostname[,hostname,...]>] ]
[--enablehesiod [--hesiodlhs <lhs>] [--hesiodrhs <rhs>] ] [--disablehesiod] [--enablesmb [--smbworkgroup <workgroup>] [--smbservers
<server[,server]>]]
DESCRIPTION
authconfig provides a simple method of configuring /etc/sysconfig/network to handle NIS, as well as /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, the files
used for shadow password support. Basic LDAP, Kerberos 5, and SMB (authentication) client configuration is also provided.
The authconfig window contains a Cancel button by default. If --back is specified at run time, a Back button is presented instead. If
--test is specified, authconfig can be run by users other then root, and any configuration changes are not saved. If --nostart is specified
(which is what the install program does), ypbind will not be started or stopped immediately following program execution, but only enabled
to start or stop at boot time. if --kickstart is specified, no interactive screens will be seen. The values the program will use will be
those specified by the other options (--enablemd5, --usehadow, etc.).
The --enablenis, --enableldap, and --enablehesiod options are used to configure user information services in /etc/nsswitch.conf, the
--enablecache option is used to configure naming services caching, and the --enableshadow, --enablemd5, --enableldapauth, --enablekrb5 and
--enablesmb options are used to configure authentication functions via /etc/pam.d/system-auth. Each --enable has a matching --disable
option that disables the service if it is already enabled.
The --probe flag instructs authconfig to use DNS and other means to guess at configuration information for the current host, print its
guesses to standard output, and exit.
The default in kickstart mode (i.e. without any additional options) is to not change the current settings.
RETURN CODES
authconfig returns 0 on success, 2 on error, and 1 if the user cancelled the program (by using either the Cancel or Back button).
FILES
/etc/sysconfig/authconfig
Used to track whether or not particular authentication mechanisms are enabled. Currently includes variables named USESHADOW,
USEMD5, USEKERBEROS, USELDAPAUTH, USESMBAUTH, USEHESIOD, USENIS, USELDAP.

Used for shadow password support.
/etc/yp.conf
