redhat-list Digest, Vol 54, Issue 17

Sat Aug 16 16:15:30 UTC 2008

I have a query ...

Can anyone tell how can we create customised CDs of RHEL 4
in which we already configues the root password and particular services and 
disable ssh login for root ,etc.
This makes newer installations easiler for me.

Thanks in advance.
