New install, how to capture the steps?
Hi All,

I am working on a new server Dell which I need to install RH version 6.1. I need to document every thing I do on this server, how do I capture screen shot as I do the install?

I used to work on Sun Solaris, I can do this by connecting on COM port after that I had the console access to the sun Server. On this new server, I have monitor and keyboard connected, is it possible to do any kind of capture?

Thanks

Write a kickstart file, it's almost self explanatory and will reduce your screenshots to one @ the start of installation Smilie

Should be a bit more work, but gain is great afterwards, and you will improve the install process in general as well as document it.

No need to write a kickstart file. A kickstart file is automatically created as you install. It is placed in /root along with an install log.
