Kickstart 20140707

Today, I was planning to study the plug-in development of rhythmBox and build a Xiami plug-in. As a result, I opened the release note of fedora20 and saw kickstart.

 

Kickstart is an installation method in the red hat release. It records the parameters and software to be installed in linux by using the configuration file. If the configuration is correct,

During the installation process, no manual interaction is required to achieve unattended installation. Therefore, it is favored by O & M personnel.

 

Anaconda can be understood as an implementation of the kickstart installation method. In fedora, anaconda is used for kickstart installation.

 

System-config-kickstart (in redhat, this tool is called redhat-config-kickstart) is a GUI tool used to generate the kickstart file. However, he cannot generate software installation information,

To enable the system to automatically install some software during installation, you must manually edit the configuration file generated by using system-config-kickstart. Besides using system-config-kickstart

In addition to generating the kickstart configuration file, there are two ways:

1. directly write the kickstart configuration file in a text editor.

2. Use anaconda-ks.cfg. A successfully installed fedora will generate a file anaconda-ks.cfg under the/root/directory.

It records the parameters when you install the current environment. If you want to install a system that is the same as the current system, you can use this file as the configuration file for installing kickstart.
