This presentation introduces kickstart, an automated installation method for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Kickstart allows a system administrator to create a single kickstart file containing answers to installation questions, saving time and providing consistency when installing Linux on multiple systems. The document explains what kickstart is, why it is used, how to create a kickstart file, boot the installer, and provides an example kickstart configuration using a CD-ROM.

3. What is Kickstart
Kickstart is a installation method is used primarily (but not exclusively) by the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux operating system to automatically perform unattended
operating system installation and configuration.
Comparirison :Kickstart in Red Hat Linux is similar to jumpstart for Oracle Solaris
or to an unattendent installation for MicrosoftWindows

4. Why we use Kickstart
A system administrator can create a single file containing the answers to all the
questions typically asked during an installation
Save time installing
Same configuration many computers
Quick installation system
Unattendant installation system
Using Kickstart not only saves time, but it brings a certain amount of consistency
into play, assuring that every machine created with the same Kickstart file will
meet the same initial specification.

5. Kickstart installer
Kickstart installations can only be performed using a local CD-ROM
A local hard drive
NFSinstallation methods.
FTPand HTTPinstallations can be automated using kickstart mod

6. Create kickstart file
You will install system-config-kickstart
Go to Application –system tools –click kickstart
To use kickstart mode, you must first create a kickstart file (ks.cfg), and make it
available to the Red Hat Linux installation program.
Copy this file (ks.cfg ) and paste /var/www/html

7. Boot the installer
Installation disks
PXE
Boot.iso

8. Kickstart configuration (Example; use cd-rom)
Point to the installer to the kickstartfile
Press Tab
Vmlinuz initrd=initrd. Img ks=http//ip address(source)/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ip=
address netmask=address(if you set a ip)
