Gjorde det samme som med ubuntu, men hentede bare en fedora core til PXE fra ham her: http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/pxe.html

PXE bootup

For maskinen skal PXE boote på PXE serveren har jeg indtil videre lavet en reservation til de nødvendige maskiner, og så sat DHCP scope op:

Option66: Boot Server Host Name: 172.16.4.83
Option67: Boot File Name: pxelinux.0

KickStart

For at kickstarte en installation skal der en kickstart fil til. Og det nemmeste er at smide den på en webserver.
Den fil der indeholder URL til startup script ligger i pxelinux.cfg/default og ser nogenlunde sådan her ud:


# Perform a local boot by default
default installauto
# Always prompt
prompt 1
# Display the bootup message
display pxeboot.msg
# Boot automatically after 5 seconds in tenths of a second
timeout 50
label local
        localboot 0
label install
        kernel vmlinuz
        append initrd=initrd.img
label installauto
        kernel vmlinuz
        append initrd=initrd.img ks=http://172.16.4.83/cluster.ks
label ubuntuinstall
        menu label Install Ubuntu Interactive
        kernel /ubuntu/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
        append initrd=ubuntu/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz

Hvis man ikke gider surfe efter hvordan en kick startfil skal laves findes system-config-kickstart til ubuntu som er et grafisk værktøj til at lave en kick start fil med.

Her er et eksempel der smadrer disken og installerer fra web^[1]:

Local Mirror

Oprette sit eget mirror med Fedora 10 rsync i /var/www/mirror/fedora/10

rsync -av rsync://archive.nl.eu.kernel.org/fedora-archive/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/ .

Ubuntu PXE Loader

Har brugt ubuntus PXE loader for at få GUI med, og har customiseret den til at installere en fedora også.

FOG System information

Jeg har også smidt bzImage kernel og init.gz filerne fra en FOG installation over, for at få system information funktionaliteten.

De bliver kaldt med:

label fogsysinfo
        menu label Show System Information
        kernel fog/bzImage
        append initrd=fog/init.gz  root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns= mode=sysinfo loglevel=4
