automated installs of Linux servers?
I'm not perticular on what distro I use but does anyone know of a way to automate the install of a Linux server complete with ssh access? Thanks
Hi, It's been over a year since i had access to a linux server, but when i did it i used a redhat-based distro and made a kickstart file and remade the disk. I believe there are other distros with automated installation methods.

Hi, The only time I have done this is via RedHat and it was very easy to accomplish. Thanks.

The gold standard for automatic installation is Fully Automated Install.

There's a debian package. It's a bit much to set up if you're doing just
one install though. But I would assume that if you're doing an automatic
install, you're doing several. Otherwise, I'd just use the accessible
installer for your distro. Almost every distro now has an accessible
installer -- although, I guess you still need a hardware synth.
