{{header}}

Below is a [[Fedora]] 14 [[x86_64]] kickstart script suitable for [[PXE]] servers that is designed to for use on servers. It strips down the standard Fedora 14 package list to save space and minimize potential problems.

It also implements a rudimentary script that detects HP Proliant storage controllers, one or two old-style <span class="code">/dev/hdX</span> drives and one through six <span class="code">/dev/sdX</span> drives. When two drives are found, a software [[RAID level 1]] array is made. When three or more drives are found, a software [[RAID level 5]] array is made.

'''Updated''': Nov. 07, 2010.

# Updated: Nov. 07, 2010
# Based on: Fedora 14
# Spin Name: AN!Cluster
# Spin Ver.: 0.2.003
# Note: Generic server install (most user-apps removed)

### Setup values.

# This is the web server with the installation image. For more information on
# setting up a PXE and web server, see:

# Set the language and keyboard to en_US, UTF-8. Adjust as needed.

keyboard us

# Set the timezone to Eastern Standard/Daylight Time. To get your preferred
# time zone, run 'tzselect'. When finished, looks for the line like:
# - Therefore TZ='America/Toronto' will be used.
# Take the value in "TZ='...'" and use it below.
timezone --utc America/Toronto

# This sets the (first) ethernet device. There is currently no way to map
# device names to physical interfaces. For this reason, I use DHCP for install
# and configure the network manually post-install.
network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --onboot yes --hostname xen.opticalonline.com

# This is the root user's password, which is "initial". To change this, set the
# password you want for a user on an existing system. Once set, look in
# '/etc/shadow' for the line starting with the user name whom you set the
# password for. Here is an example for the user 'digimer':
# digimer:$6$YEoLNxHI$cu/673fGD/BPqfJ1RCd0F6ZRqHhkfbI6HPdy1YuKBoxA6AW7eyyWC2NmkQ/czP1dzXfBn5uJbdn/HR84i.WhO1:14896:0:99999:7:::

# In a production system, you will likely want to enable a firewall and
# SELinux. Given that this script is likely to be used while learning though,
# I turn them both off to reduce potential problems. Please be sure to build a
# firewall (Shorewall is good) and to re-enable SELinux as final steps before
# going into production. This way you will be able to focus on resolving issues
# specific to firewalling and SELinux without wondering if problems are caused
# by the general configuration.
firewall --disabled
selinux --disabled

# Given how often I rebuild machines, I like to pre-define the initial user and
# thus skip 'firstboot' to save time.
firstboot --disable

# Setup the first user. I use 'iplink', the system name used by Interlink, the
# main company I contract for, with the same "initial" password. Please see the
# 'rootpw' option above for information on changing this to the password you
# prefer.
user --name=iplink --iscrypted --password=$6$0riSEDMyCvHPdhCv$lvuhEOqU2yo9szCJHtAsVUK3maHyWlpZmVi6PCRkrOfifL/38J7SaGUopehv/rzwQvhqxNla/jPvD10uwuPY4/

# Reboot after the install completes rather than waiting for the user to
# manually reboot.
reboot

# This runs a script (below) that generates the partitioning information
# depending on a rudamentary test for available storage devices.
%include /tmp/part-include

# These options allow me to disable and enable services. Given that we're
# building servers, I particularly like to replace 'NetworkManager' with the
# simpler, and more static, 'network' service. If you want to add additional
# services, seperate the service names with commans. (ie: foo,bar,baz).
