I've been using this for my reference: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart
Is that the best place for me to work from in doing my 1st bare metal kickstart?
I've been having some challenges. I got my kickstart to install a bare metal system and boot to CL. Using the information from the above page I have been working on getting a bare metal kickstart to install a graphical environment.
1. I get a command not found error on "key". I was using "key --skip" but took it out and the error went away.
2. My target system boots and gets to a desktop background then locks up.
If the above link I have been using as my reference is bad please point me to a good place to learn and practice. If it's good, here's my current kickstart and any suggestions/pointers would be greately appreciated!
