Hello, I have followed all the steps from the last tutorial, and this one, the kickstart option (5) is not clickable for some reason, nothing happens when I press ENTER, the rest of the menu is normally clickable. I need your help, please.

Great article ! One thing : please note that according to your requirements (Setup a PXE Network Boot Server on RHEL/CentOS 7) the Step 2 and chapter 5 should be corrected with this :

menu label ^5) Install CentOS 7 x64 with Local Repo using Kickstart
kernel centos7/vmlinuz
append initrd=centos7/initrd.img inst.ks=ftp://192.168.1.25/pub/anaconda-ks.cfg inst.vnc inst.vncpassword=password

(centos7 subfolder has been missed in kernel and append ^^)

Thanks

Hello, I did this and my install continues to pause at the for me to confirm that there will be no user created and to confirm the EULA. I’ve added the line eula –accepted to my KS file but it still stops and asks me to finish configuration. Is there a way to get it to just continue past that screen?

Thanks

On Centos7 I was unable to see my anaconda-ks.cfg file in the pub directory via browsing FTP. I could see it in the directory with ls however.

Ended up having to add “setsebool allow_ftpd_full_access=1” which allowed it to be visible.

Found that via google search here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30655173/cant-display-files-from-a-vsftpd-server-on-centos-6

In reply to rashid.

You wont need to worry about this if you use a kickstart file form a previous installation. The License terms are accepted automatically.
Still, if you should now this parameter for manually created kickstart files:
eula Accepted
