Hi there,
I am trying to create a kickstart configuration for Redhat 6.2 on a IBM
Netfinity
5000 server (9.1 GB SCSI Hdd, 1GB Ram, 650Mhz Pentium III).
The problem i am encountering is that inspite of giving the options
zerombr yes
clearpart --all
and the partition details,
The existing partition are not deleted and the setup program opens up the
disk
partitioning utility and prompts for creation of the partitions. Maintaining
the same
partition structure across all my server is of utmost imp.
How do i prevent this ?
Also, inspite of listing the rpms i want install, the installation program
ends up installing about
20+ additional rpms (like raidtools,kernel-pcmcia-cs etc etc). Is there a
way i can prevent this
other than trying to remove the rpm in the %post section.
The kickstart file is listed below.
