Coordinating multiple installations using Kickstart
If you're planning on installing CentOS on multiple servers, it's more convenient to automate as much of the process as possible. In this recipe, you'll learn how to use Anaconda's kickstart.cfg file to perform an unattended network-based installation.
Getting ready
This recipe requires at least two systems on your network: an existing system running an HTTP server to host the installation files and Kickstart configuration (the recipe Installing Apache HTTP Server and PHP in Chapter 10, Managing Web Servers, shows you how to install Apache) and the target system on which we'll install CentOS. You'll also need the installation media and administrative privileges.
