text: Kickstart files have been supported since before Red Hat Linux 7. They are specifically designed for this purpose. Kickstart files are plain text files designed to be written from a text editor, but I recommend the Kickstart Configurator, a GUI program that does all the hard work for you.\n\nSee chapters 7 and 8 in the Red Hat 9 manual (see my sources) for more info (including how to create a kickstart file from scratch using just a text editor).
