Re: Customizing Anaconda

Hi Jirka,

My real use case is to deploy hundreds of moodle servers across the country
where less technical people will do the installation.
Each server required to setup with different access credentials.  [1]

These servers will host Government Exam in remote areas and send the backup
to central server which required to identify exam center separately.
We have done the pilot exam by running a script which read centerid and
then reset user passwords and hostname. But the issue is person do the
installation know whats actually happening and what does this script.
So, we can't do this for real exam. Other than this, we manage to run the
pilot exam in 655 centers to facilitate nearly 200k candidates.

Above two requirements can be solved using entering center/organization ID
which added during the installation, but we can't let them to manually
setup the system.

Please find my in-line reply.

hostname required to set based on the organizationID.

no, prefer to have it on the same window where we create user
or the window that prompt to choose installation destination, time & date,
etc.

same as graphical interface.

servers are not connected each other and there is a chance that server is
totally online during the installation (internet may available during the
installation).

I hope above information is answer your questions.

Other than this, we need to make disk level encryption (as the server keep
the exam papers and answers till the evaluation of exam) which wasn't
tested during the pilot test.
As a fedora contributor I highly believe that this project will make a big
impact on our community.
