Building a Fedora Kickstart DVD

  • Install Fedora 9 (from supplied DVD) onto /dev/sdb in lab T2107
    • Choose a PC with only one network card
    • Create an account named clown with password seneca99
    • Set seneca99 as the root password
    • Set the timezone to Toronto
    • Install the default set of packages
  • Login to this new installation and install k3b and isomaster
  • Use k3b to make an ISO image on the HD from the DVD
  • Use isomaster and add /root/anaconda-ks.cfg (naming it ks.cfg) to a new ISO image
  • Use k3b to burn the new image to a blank DVD
  • Use the new DVD to perform an automated install on another lab PC
    • You'll have to add "ks=cdrom" to the install boot prompt
  • Write a blog about your experience and send a notification to your teacher when done
