Have fedora core 5, and running installs via nfs across the network. &nbsp;Would like to create a cd that will boot up and automotically start installing using the kickstart file on the cd. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Also as part of the post configuration &nbsp;i would like it to run a script that runs the flash installer from the cd and installs its self to the browsers. Or even trun this script into an rpm that runs. as part of the install. &nbsp;<br />

Trying to make it so when ever I install a Fedora Core 5 desktop it automatically loads java, adobe reader and flash player all for firefox so the box is ready to go.

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
