Kickstart Considerations
|
|
|
Commands for using a VNC installation are also available in Kickstart installations. Using just the [command]#vnc# command will set up an installation using Direct Mode. Options are available to set up an installation using Connect Mode. For more information about the [command]#vnc# command and options used in Kickstart files, see xref:appendixes/Kickstart_Syntax_Reference.adoc#appe-kickstart-syntax-reference[Kickstart Syntax Reference].

Considerations for Headless Systems
|
|
|
When installing headless systems, the only choices are an automated Kickstart installation or an interactive VNC installation using connect mode. For more information about automated Kickstart installation, see xref:appendixes/Kickstart_Syntax_Reference.adoc#appe-kickstart-syntax-reference[Kickstart Syntax Reference]. The general process for an interactive VNC installation is described below.
|
|
|
Set up a PXE server that will be used to start the installation. Information about installing and performing basic configurating of a PXE server can be found in xref:advanced/Network_based_Installations.adoc#chap-pxe-server-setup[Setting Up an Installation Server].
|
|
|
Configure the PXE server to use the boot options for a connect mode VNC installation. For information on these boot options, see xref:sect-vnc-installations-connect-mode[Installing in VNC Connect Mode].
|
|
|
Follow the procedure for a VNC Installation using connect mode as described in the xref:proc-vnc-installations-connect-mode[Starting VNC in Connect Mode]. However, when directed to boot the system, boot it from the PXE server.
