Technical requirements

The easy way to create a new kickstart file requires building a new OS, as this process will automatically create the file, which can later be modified as needed. A PXE environment also requires additional systems or VMs for a DHCP server and HTTPS server. Before you start, you will first need to download an ISO image. Using a desktop virtualization product such as Oracle VM VirtualBox is recommended.

The related configuration files for many of the recipes in this book are available on GitHub, at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Oracle-Linux-Cookbook.
