Installing KVM packages with Kickstart files

This section describes how to use a Kickstart file to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux with the KVM

hypervisor packages. Kickstart files allow for large, automated installations without a user manually

installing each individual system. The steps in this section will assist you in creating and using a

Kickstart file to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux with the virtualization packages.

In the %packages section of your Kickstart file, append the following package group:

%packages

@kvm

More information on Kickstart files can be found on Red Hat's website, redhat.com
