KRUDserver Install README
Thank you for choosing KRUDserver. This document describes some of the
install features of the KRUDserver distribution.
KRUDserver has a number of pre-packaged Kickstart files that automate
the install process a great deal. You will need to determine what kind
of server functions you wish the newly installed machine to perform.
Your server choices are:
Server types:
sql -- Database server. mail -- SMTP server.
dns -- DNS server. web -- Web server.
full -- sql+mail+dns+web fs -- File-server (NFS and Samba).
Then choose from the following server and install type options:
Configuration names consist of an install type and a server type
(i.e. mfull, wipeweb, mdns).
Install types:
m -- Manual, prompts for disc partitioning, timezone, and
network information.
wipe -- WARNING: Deletes all existing Linux partitions and
re-partitions. Only prompts for root password.
Network is set up using DHCP.
To make use of this, type the name of a configuration above (i.e. "mfull")
followed by while at the initial boot prompt. If you don't know
what kind of server functions you need, you should select 'full'. If
the install is being done on a new server, or no data currently on the
drive is needed, the 'wipe' option is recommended.
WARNING: selecting the 'wipe' option will delete all of the partions on the
server, and WILL CAUSE DATA LOSS.
Examples:
To do a manual install of a webserver: mweb
To do a wipe install of a dns server: wipedns
To do a manual install of a database server: msql
You can see these options by pressing after booting from the KRUDserver
CD-ROM.
You can of course install KRUDserver by manually going through each step
and filling in the required information, not using any Kickstart help.
