Aurora provides a method for unattended installation of a system
using a text configuration file. To enter the kickstart mode, type
[7mlinux ks <ENTER>[m. Kickstart mode works with both NFS and CD-ROM
installations.
The installation program looks in the following places for the config file:
o the broadcast server from bootp.
o the bootp server if no other server name is broadcast.
o on the boot floppy if [7mlinux ks=floppy <ENTER>[m is given.
The file it looks for is given by the bootp server as either a directory or
an explicit file name. If a directory is given, then kickstart looks for a
file in that directory with the IP of the client as the file name followed
by "-kickstart" (ie. 192.168.0.1-kickstart). If the floppy argument is
given, then it will look for a file named "ks" on that floppy.
