ksconfig

========

### Description:

These scripts were created for use with a kickstart file via %pre and %post sections.

The included scripts will allow you to provide a hostname, IP addressing, as well as 

specify a standard disk partiton/volume configuration with the ability to make size tweaks.

This is especially useful if you would like to kickstart a handful of servers without 

the need of more advanced solutions like cobbler. I have tested these scripts for 

use with CentOS7 but should also be compatible with RHEL and Fedora based linux 

distributions.

### Instructions:

1) Edit the settings within the kspre.py script to suit your needs.

2) View the sample file to include these scripts in your %pre and %post sections 

of your kickstart file.

3) Add *net.ifnames=0*, *biosdevname=0*, and *inst.geoloc=0* to your **boot:** along with your

kickstart file path. 

This ensures that traditional interface names are used. ie: eth0, eth1, etc.

```

linux net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 inst.geoloc=0 ks=

```

### Screenshots

##### Server Location

Specify pre-defined server location/domain. The 'custom' option will prompt 

user for a domain and a short description.
