    Hello,
    Thought I'd share my kickstart file for preparing a Centos 6.4 x86_64 build for ISPConfig 3 deployment. I use this when messing about with different installations and need to quickly prepare a test machine.

    After use:
    - mysql_secure_installation needs to be run
    - quota needs to be setup on relevant volume
    - mailman needs to be configured (could add in to kickstart I don't use it)
    - suphp (if really wanted) and mod_ruby to be installed

    A few notes in no particular order:

    - max 5 min install on fast internet connection as lots of packages are dragged from online repo's. However, takes about 20 minutes on a ~3mbit connection - to be expected.
    - I do a minimal install then build up from there accordingly, either through naming packages or allowing Yum to auto-detect dependencies. This can be expanded on adding files in as appropriate.
    - you can install manually then inspect /root/anaconda-ks.cfg to see the equivalent kickstart file for your install to grab, eg. country settings etc.
    - if you're doing anything funky with RAID partitions and you inspect /root/anaconda-ks.cfg afterwards note the order listed is WRONG - all the #part statements have to go BEFORE the #raid statements otherwise it simply won't work.
    - I turn off iptables service as I deploy my own firewall scripts afterwards.
    - change ip addresses as appropriate for both your pxe server, location of install image served over http and ip addresses, mask, gateway, hostname and dns of target server. Make dhcp if appropriate, add the packages back in if required.
    - sed commands could well be optimised, all ideas welcome!
    - now researching building a kickstart file on the fly containing relevant addresses for a specific server. Looking to integrate with something like cobbler as appropriate.
    - also researching a custom "firstboot" type script, rather like "Elastix" installation which will go on and do, eg mysql_secure_installation, configure other packages required and then perhaps download, unpack and fire off installer for ISPConfig.
