You can create any number of profiles to be assigned to any number of hosts,
although only one profile can be assigned to the DEFAULT host at any given
time. You may, however, assign a profile to the DEFAULT host, install a
system, then assign another profile to the DEFAULT host, and install another
system.
Each profile can control all of the installation choices provided by the
Anaconda installer, including disk partitioning, package selection, and X
configuration. There is comprehensive pop-up help to explain the various
settings.
Note that it is possible to create Kickstart profiles that contain internal
errors and cause the installation to fail or require manual intervention. If
this happens, consider using the "Interactive" option on the Advanced tab to
debug your Kickstart profile.
Whenever you install an Anaconda-based Linux distribution, it creates the
Kickstart file /root/anaconda-ks.cfg. You may edit this file and then import
it into a profile on the web interface. Importing a Kickstart file will wipe
out all profile information except for the Linux Distribution associated with
it. You may alter the Kickstart data online after importing, and you may see
the Kickstart file output at any time from the web interface.
