With kickstart configurator you don`t need to remember the correct syntax of kickstart files. An graphical user interface helps to create or to edit kickstart files on the fly.

Preparation

# install KDE
$ yum groupinstall -y "KDE Plasma Workspaces"

# install kickstart configurator
$ yum install -y system-config-kickstart

# start KDE
$ startx

Note: Of course you can also use Gnome, Cinnamon, MATE or Xfce!

Usage

To start the kickstart configurator search the application “Kickstart” [Applications => System Tools => Kickstart] or run terminal command:

# start kickstart configurator
$ system-config-kickstart

Note: Via [File => Preview] you can review your current selections before saving.

Validation

After the creation, you should check the kickstart file!

# install pykickstart
$ yum install -y pykickstart

# start validate a kickstart file
$ ksvalidator </path/to/kickstart file>
