| − | ==kickstart installation==
| + | |
| − | Kickstart installation for Debian core is for [semi-]automated installation of the operating system. A DHCP server and a TFTP server are required, as well as some media or server(s) for the target machine to fetch a kickstart configuration file, software packages, etc from. Within Wikimedia, DHCP, TFTPD, and web servers are used - in Florida, dhcpd, tftp-server and lighttpd are installed for this on rabanus.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When a machine tries to netboot, it broadcasts a request which the DHCP server answers, assigning an IP address, netmask, etc and telling the IP address of a TFTP server and the filename of a [http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php PXELINUX] bootstrap loader to be fetched from it - e.g. in {{filename|/etc/dhcpd.conf}} for ariel, the TFTP server has IP 10.0.0.15 and the file to fetch is {{filename|/tftpboot/linux-install-64bit/pxelinux.0}} - this is commented out usually, so that the default (nonexistent) file is requested, and the server fails over to booting from disk.

| − | Once the bootloader is fetched, the client attempts to fetch a PXELINUX configuration file from {{filename|pxelinux.cfg/}}. It attempts a series of filenames until one succeeds, sometimes beginning with a filename of the form {{filename|01-aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff}} where the final 6 pairs are the client NIC's MAC address. Then it tries its IP address in hexadecimal, then the same with the last character removed, then with the last two removed, down to a single character and finally trying {{filename|default}}.

| + | |
| − | By uncommenting an entry in rabanus:/etc/dhcpd.conf, restarting its dhcpd and rebooting a machine, you can make it reinstall FC3 and automatically set up the following:
| + | |
| − | * make mount points and put NFS mounts in {{filename|/etc/fstab}}
| + | |
| − | * root's {{filename|~/.ssh/authorized_keys}}
| + | |
| − | * {{filename|/etc/hosts}} according to Tim's recommendation
| + | |
| − | * yum repositories in {{filename|/etc/yum.repos.d/}}
| + | |
| − | * put <tt>ttyS0</tt> in {{filename|/etc/securetty}}
| + | |
| − | * alter {{filename|/etc/inittab}} to run an <tt>agetty</tt> on <tt>ttyS0</tt> if necessary
| + | |
| − | * LDAP
| + | |
| − | * remote syslogging to larousse and zwinger
| + | |
| − | * {{filename|/etc/resolv.conf}}
| + | |
| − | * noatime,notail on reiserfs partitions
| + | |
| − | * remove unused services
| + | |
| − | After rebooting after OS installation, it will:
| + | |
| − | * copy host keys back in to {{filename|/etc/ssh}}, or back them up to {{filename|/h/w/conf/etc-ssh/}} if not already backed-up
| + | |
| − | * do a yum update
| + | |
| − | * copy some files into {{filename|/etc}} - see {{filename|/h/w/sbin/post-boot-config-sync.sh}}
