4.3. Standard Kickstart Scripts¶
After setting the standard parameters, you add a number of scripts that will do the following:
- install the minimal mandatory package group;
- add the public keys to the RPM database and reinstall the VZLinux release;
- enable kernel crash dumping.
To perform the above steps, add the following scripts to the kickstart file: %packages
, %post
, %addon
. These scripts start with their respective names along with a %
prefix and end with the %end
command.
4.3.1. Packages Script¶
In the body of the %packages
script, specify the minimal mandatory package group to install on the server:
%packages
@^minimal
%end
4.3.2. Post-Installation Script¶
In the post-installation script, you add the public keys to the RPM database and reinstall the VZLinux release:
%post
# Add public keys to rpm database
rpmkeys --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/*
# Reinstall vzlinux release
yum reinstall vzlinux-release -y
%end
4.3.3. Add-on Script¶
To enable kernel crash dumping during the installation, add the following lines to the end of the kickstart file:
%addon com_redhat_kdump --enable --reserve-mb='auto'
%end
