12.2. Sharing the installation files on a local volume for automatic loading


You can configure a local storage volume with a specially named and labeled Kickstart file for automatic detection during installation. It enables completely automated installations without manual intervention or network dependencies, making it ideal for unattended deployments.

Prerequisites

  • You have a drive that can be moved to the machine to be installed, such as a USB stick.
  • The drive contains a partition that can be read by the installation program. The supported types are ext2, ext3, ext4, xfs, and fat.
  • The drive is connected to the system and its volumes are mounted.

Procedure

  1. List volume information to which you want to copy the Kickstart file.

    # lsblk -l -p
  2. Navigate to the file system on the volume.
  3. Copy the Kickstart file into the root of this file system.
  4. Rename the Kickstart file to ks.cfg.
  5. Rename the volume as OEMDRV:

    • For ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems:

      # e2label /dev/xyz OEMDRV
    • For the XFS file system:

      # xfs_admin -L OEMDRV /dev/xyz

    Replace /dev/xyz with the path to the volume’s block device.

  6. Unmount all drive volumes:

    # umount /dev/xyz ...

    (add all the volumes to the command, separated by spaces.)
