Re: Question on kickstart install

Hi,
   Now, I don't try to test this case yet but I will
for you. At this time, you can read Red Hat
Customization or Red Hat Reference Guide (I'm not
sure). They have Kickstart Installation method. You
can get it from
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/doc/RH-DOCS/.
