[Freeipa-users] 3.6. Setting up a Linux Client Through Kickstart

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

My experience is I build with kickstart/satellite and at the end inject my own one time run script on reboot and finish off the customisation then. Easier to do and easier to maintain.

I am sorry, but I must respectfully disagree about specifying packages
that are not in the ISO. I just tried it:

Question

You have specified that the package 'freeipa-client' should be
installed. This package does not exist. Would you like to skip this
package and continue with installation?

Please respond 'yes' or 'no':
