Many system administrators would prefer to use an automated installation
method to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on their machines. To answer this need, Red Hat
created the kickstart installation method. Using kickstart, a system
administrator can create a single file containing the answers to all the
questions that would normally be asked during a typical
installation.
Kickstart files can be kept on a single server system and read by
individual computers during the installation. This installation method
can support the use of a single kickstart file to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on
multiple machines, making it ideal for network and system
administrators.
Kickstart provides a way for users to automate a Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation.
