start-autoinstall - HELP
-----------------------------------------------
About:
start-autoinstall is used when performing automated installationsr. It is able
to configure networking with provided settings, and fetch an installation script from
http / ftp server. This allows media to be created which fetches dynamic configuration
options from a server-side supplier.
Usage:
pc-sysinstall start-autoinstall <config>
Config Syntax:
The configuration file for start-autoinstall can contain the following options:
pc_config: <value>
- Location of the pc-sysinstall installation configuration file, can be local
or start with http:// or ftp:// to fetch from a remote system.
shutdown_cmd: <value>
- Command to execute post-installation, such as "shutdown -p now" or other.
confirm_install: (YES/NO)
- Prompt on the console to begin installation. Defaults to YES.
Warning: Setting this to NO will start an installation as soon as start-autoinstall
is run. (I.E. after booting some install media) It may be dangerous if a disk is left
in a drive and the system is turned on!
nic_config: (DHCP-ALL / <cfg>)
- When set to DHCP-ALL, the software will attempt to get a network address from DHCP on
any / all detected NICS. If set to some other command, it will be used as an argument
