6.2. Creating Kickstart Profiles

RHN Satellite supports two distinct methods of kickstart profile creation: Wizard-based and Raw.

Wizard style kickstart profiles are generated and maintained by Satellite logic, with many hooks

for user modification of kickstart parameters. The Raw method is a mechanism by which you have

complete control over the content of the kickstart file: you write the file completely yourself or upload

an existing pre-made Kickstart file, and are entirely responsible for its contents.

6.2.1. Wizard Style Kickstarts

To create a wizard style Kickstart:

1. Click on Systems => Kickstart => create a new kickstart profile

2. Provide an appropriate label, select the desired base channel and distribution

3. Select the Virtualization Type desired

4. Select next

5. You will be presented with an option to use the default download location or use a custom one.

Select the default unless you're using a custom distribution. (If you are using a custom distribution,

enter the location of its tree via a URI (http and ftp are supported)

6. Click next

7. Enter the root password

8. Click finish

At this point, Satellite generates a fully functional Kickstart file.

If you would like to view the resulting file, click on Kickstart File.

6.2.2. Raw Style Kickstarts

To create a completely customizable Kickstart:

1. Click on Systems => Kickstart => upload new kickstart file

2. Provide an appropriate label

3. Select the desired Distribution

4. Select the appropriate virtualization type (see above)

5. If you have an existing kickstart file you can upload it using the file upload feature, otherwise

simply copy and paste it into the File Contents box.

Note

Note that kickstarts uploaded here are actually templates, so you need to be aware of the

following template escape sequences.
