Kickstart files for dom0 and domU none

Description Rob Landry 2007-02-27 22:58:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

$summary, I haven't verified, but I want to say some time back; kickstart was
made smart enough that if you used it and it couldn't figure out the answer it
would prompt the user and then continue back into the the kickstart.  So I
believe this would provide a reasonable starting point for people.  Though, I'm
not certain what happens when you say try to install audio from kickstart on a
zSeries or other platform that doesn't have that package.  Missing packages used
to cause problems, not certain if it'd get over it so long as it doesn't cause a
package dependency problem?

Kickstart files for dom0 and domU
Comment 7 Gary Case 2009-02-26 20:24:27 UTC 
I've just attached my dom0 and domU kickstart files along with the scripts and directions needed to do a nearly fully automated install of RHEL5.3 dom0 and domU with HTS.

thanks very much Gary. think we can modify your ks files a bit to cover other platforms. :)

Rob, could we discuss how to package these ks files ? If to build another rpm, where to host them ? In the svn repo ?

Thanks
