Hi everyone,
I know RHEL has some functionnaly letting install a system remotely.
Remote media (HTTP/FTP/NFS) is well supported and kickstart allows to
automate a good part of the installation process.
Currently I'm using a NFS server combined with a DHCP server to make
remote installs.
I would like to develop a light client (ie a web page) to set up the
details and options of the intallation. I can make a form to full a
kickstart and eventually a post install script, that's not a problem.
What I need to know is :
- is there any means to launch the installation process using the web
page (which would be on the installation server) ?
- is there any means to avoid using a boot disk on the server to
install* ?
* currently the procedure is booting on the server with a boot cdrom and
using 'linux ks console=ttyS0,19200" at prompt to follow the
installation process through a serial console.
Anybody got a clue ?
