Re: Disable auto updates manager on Centos

Ger

are you perhaps mixing up the pxeboot options with the kickctsrt file
? 

My pixeboot file looks like this (just the lines the refer to the
kickstart install of centos with update )

LABEL centos64-ks
        KERNEL vmlinuz-c65x64
        APPEND initrd=initrd-c65x64.img ks=ftp://192.168.0.1/kickstart/
centos6-minimal-x86_64.cfg

the ks= line tells it where to find the kickstart file 


My kickstart file looks like this 


cat /var/ftp/kickstart/centos6-minimal-x86_64.cfg 

#version=RHEL6
install
url --url=ftp://192.168.0.1//centos65/x86_64
# system language

network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp
rootpw  --iscrypted <encrypted password goes here> 
firewall --service=ssh
authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512 --enablefingerprint
selinux --enforcing

# slipstream in updates
repo --name="centos_updates"  --baseurl=ftp://192.168.0.1/centos/6.5/up
dates/x86_64/ --cost=1000

echo "Adding ssh key"
mkdir -p /root/.ssh
chmod 700 /root/.ssh
echo '<My Public SSH key goes here>' > /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keysa
# fix up selinux context for .ssh
restorecon -r /root/.ssh/


Hope this helps
