Hi,
Not sure whether this is the right alias, but anyway let me try my
luck.
I have linux 7.1 installed . Now i want to install linux again
using kickstart where the
installation tree is in local drive.
I have the redhat installation tree in / which is in /dev/sda5
The output of mount on that m/c
/dev/sda5 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda7 on /tmp type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda8 on /var type ext2 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
output of fstab
LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults
1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext2 defaults
1 2
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner
0 0
LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext2 defaults
1 2
LABEL=/var /var ext2 defaults
1 2
none /proc proc defaults
0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620
0 0
/dev/sda6 swap swap defaults
0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0
0
I have done these steps
*edit lilo.conf adding the new image and adding
append="ks=hd:/dev/sda5/ks.cfg", as i have ks.cfg in / in /dev/sda5
partition.
* in the ks.cfg file, specify what type of kickstart is being done
harddrive --partition <partition> --dir <dir>
in what partition will the installation be done ?
here in the above line, should i have to mention as
harddrive --partition /dev/sda5 --dir /
or
should i have to mention the partition for linux to be installed ?
Also, i am assuming when using harddrive type of kickstart, i should not
add
clearpart all, as it will delete all the partitions and hence it will
not have the installation tree .
Please correct me, if i am wrong.
Thanks in Advance,
Lakshmi
