This document does not attempt to exhaustivly teach you how the RedHat kickstart
process works, but tells you the basics of what we did, and gives a glossy
overview of how the medusa kickstart process is implemented. You'll find a
kickstart config file in CVS for each of the masternodes as well as the slave
nodes.
Pre-install -- this section sets some basic options (root passwd, default
language, etc), as well as laying down file systems on HDDs.
RPM-transactions -- this section tells what groups to install (note, we created
our own meta-group in comps.xml, also in CVS, called medusa-common).
Post-install -- this section does various config stuff at the end of
installation; installs custom RPMs, installs medusa specific config files,
turns various services on and off.
