Hi everyone

Is it possible to create a kickstart disk from the running configuration automagically ?

Scanning documentation at the moment

TIA

From the running configuration, no, but upon a system build, in the '/root/' directory, a file 'anaconda-ks.cfg' is created.

This has the configuration options used to build up the system, and can be transferred and used on another machine (renamed to the approriate file-name ('ks.cfg' usually)).

You may need to tweak it (as by defualt, the file-system alterations are commented out for safety).

Seems to be good resources with Uncle Google to solve this opportunity.

You can use system-config-kickstar or redhat-config kickstart to create a new or modify a kickstart file.
