第10章 Creating Kickstart files
You can create a Kickstart file by using the following different methods:
- Use the online Kickstart configuration tool.
- Copy the Kickstart file created as a result of installation.
- Write the entire Kickstart file manually.
Convert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Kickstart file for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 installation.
For more information about the conversion tool, see Kickstart generator lab.
- In case of virtual and cloud environments, create a custom system image by using Image Builder.
Some highly specific installation options can be configured only by manual editing of the Kickstart file.
