Greetings all,
I sent these questions out a few days ago but I never saw
them make the list. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Subject: JumpStart questions
Greetings all,
I am using JumpStart to setup an Intel box (1xPentiumIII,
128 megs RAM, 18 gig SCSI HD, Matrox G2 video card). I've
gone through the process several times now with moderate
success. But there are a few items I want to nail down.
Is there a way to make it skip kdmconfig the first time through?
- I don't need Xwindows configured on this box. The Installation
process would be better off without this. I don't see any flags
in sysidcfg to turn this off.
Why does kdmconfig come up after reboot?
- After an installation, the computer reboots and the first thing
it does after booting up is to try to run kdmconfig again. At
this point I can choose F4-Skip and Suppress (or something like that).
Why did it prompt for root password when /etc/passwd got copied?
- After the reboot, I was asked to enter the root password. I don't
want to hardcode the root password into sysidcfg, so instead I copy
over /etc/passwd out of our CVS directory. The file is present and
correct on the target machine but I was still asked to enter the root
password. Anyway around this?
Is there a way to make it FULLY automated, so as to skip early
interactions? (a bunch of F2-continue's and choosing install method)
- I don't see any sysidcfg options for this.
Thanks,
Eric
