[Techtalk] Auto install of Linux and

[Nguyen D. Nguyen]

Hello,

Does anyone happen to know of a way to do an auto (without
user intervention) installation of Linux (RedHat in particular)?

Second question is, how do I build a Linux image/kernel that
can be auto installed in any PC (where the PCs can have
different hw (one pc might have scsi drive for boot device,
while another might have ide,  different video card, etc) 
configuration?

Lastly,  I would like to do the auto install to PCs via network
and as back up install method, use CDROM for installation.

I saw something call "kickstart"  but I haven't figure out how
to use it or find detail doc on it yet.

A great many many thanks for any pointer to all of the above.
