10장. Creating Kickstart files

Procedure

1. Open the Kickstart generator lab.
2. Click the Go to Application button to the left of the heading and wait for the next page to load.
3. Select Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 in the drop-down menu and wait for the page to update.

4. Describe the system to be installed by using the fields in the form.

   You can use the links on the left side of the form to quickly navigate between sections of the form.

5. To download the generated Kickstart file, click the red Download button at the top of the page.

   Your web browser saves the file.

6. Install the pykickstart package.

   # dnf install pykickstart

7. Run ksvalidator on your Kickstart file.

   $ ksvalidator -v RHEL10 /path/to/kickstart.ks

   Replace /path/to/kickstart.ks with the path to the Kickstart file you want to verify.

   The validation tool cannot guarantee the installation will be successful. It ensures only that the syntax is correct and that the file does not include deprecated options. It does not attempt to validate the %pre, %post and %packages sections of the Kickstart file.
