for descriptions of the page and its tabs. Take note that RHN supports including separate ﬁles within

the Partition Details section of the kickstart proﬁle. For instance, you may dynamically generate a

partition ﬁle based on the machine type and number of disks at kickstart time. This ﬁle can be created

via %pre script and placed on the system, such as /tmp/part-include. Then you can call for that

ﬁle by including the following line within the Partition Details ﬁeld of the Kickstart Details

Options tab:

%include /tmp/part-include

You may clone or delete the proﬁle at any time using links at the upper-right corner of the Kick-

start Details page. Once you’ve populated the tabs and ﬁelds within the Kickstart Details page, the

kickstart proﬁle should be completely conﬁgured and ready for use. Refer to the following pages for

instructions on supplementing and aggregating kickstart proﬁles.

6.4.10.4. Kickstart Details —

Use the following tabs to modify the kickstart proﬁle.

6.4.10.4.1. Kickstart Details Details —

The default display of the Kickstart Details page shows the kickstart proﬁle name and label, as well

as the associated distribution, URL to be used, whether it’s the default proﬁle for your organization,

and any comments about the proﬁle. Note that the URL does not begin with https:// because the

Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation program does not support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Click

the view kickstart link to see the actual kickstart conﬁguration ﬁle (converted to SSL) generated by

RHN.

In addition, you may select lists of ﬁles here that will be preserved during the kickstart process. These

ﬁles, typically conﬁguration ﬁles and others that will remain relevant when the server is re-deployed,

can be selected using the File Preservation Lists pulldown menu near the bottom of the page. Refer to

Section 6.4.10.10 Kickstart File Preservation — to ﬁnd out how create these lists. To deselect a

list, hold the [Ctrl] key and click the list name with the mouse. When done, click the Update Kickstart

button.

6.4.10.4.2. Kickstart Details

Options —

Collects the precise values to be applied against the kickstart process, including bootloader type,

time zone, root password, and partition details. Keep in mind, the kickstart network conﬁguration

value here is used by the bootloader to determine the network conﬁguration for the kickstart process,

unlike the network setting on the Advanced Options tab, which is used to generate the kickstart

conﬁguration ﬁle. The options passed to the bootloader are different from those needed by the Red

Hat installation program to conﬁgure the system. Remember you may %include separate ﬁles in

the Partition Details section of the proﬁle if needed. When done, click the Update Kickstart button.

6.4.10.4.3. Kickstart Details Advanced Options —

Accessible through a link at the top of the Options tab, this page establishes the arguments to be

included in the kickstart conﬁguration ﬁle. These differ from the settings included on the Options

tab. For instance, the network setting here deﬁnes the parameters of the Red Hat installation program,

while the kickstart network conﬁguration value there affects the bootloader. As an example, you might

need to kickstart a system using eth1 (kickstart network conﬁguration), but eth0 is the primary network
