| newzen | hi |
| z00dax | hello |
| newzen | i installed a mail cerver under centos 4.4, so i have to install 10 more. im lookinkg for a kind of tools for make that work from a cd |
| z00dax | newzen: google for kickstart |
| newzen | like the initial install of centos |
| z00dax | its included in the installer for centos |
| dt | though network install with kickstart would probably be even nicer/quicker/quicker to set up |
| newzen | im looking for kickstart, but im not clear about the funtion of that |
| z00dax | newzen: read the docs, will clear your ideas think of kickstart as a replacement for someone sitting there and typing things |
| newzen | the file created for kickstart can be included on the centos 4.4 server cd? |
| dt | but for only 10 boxes, it's probably not worth trying to get kickstart to do too much |
| z00dax | dt: that sounds like opinion rather than fact newzen: you can put it on a http or a ftp server as well |
| newzen | so im was working for a full week on tahat server, so the next could be more esasy or not |
| dt | z00dax, yes, it's an opinion based on my experience |
| z00dax | I am the sort of sysadmin who hates to repeat things, so i do them once, and automate as I go along. its slower to do the first, but he second onwards they are free |
| newzen | so where can i read about ftp or http server for install? |
| z00dax | newzen: what docs are you reading for kickstart ? |
| newzen | on centos.org |
| z00dax | howto do the network installs are included in those docs go ahead and trial it, if you have errors or problems feel free to ask here |
| newzen | ok, im going to read, nice to meet you and thanks for your help |
| ux-steveb | i noticed that the beta for 5 is listed , but anyone know how the builds have been going? never mind,just saw the channel message... dooohhhhh |
