This is the most tricky part and effort taking as it is very hard to identify the dependency rpms one by one for any package you add in your list.

NOTE: You can skip this step if you do not want to reduce the ISO content and you intention is only to automate the ISO installation Place this kickstart file 'ks.cfg' in the parent directory of the build server which for us is '/root/geniso/'

Next copy the entire content to my build server location and later we can remove or customize the needed content # cp -rvf /mnt/* /root/geniso I have mounted the vanilla DVD on my node hence will mount the DVD to a temporary mount point # mount /dev/sr0 /mnt I will use the same directory structure as present in the vanilla DVDīelow will be my parent directory where I am replicating the DVD directory structure for the customization # mkdir /root/geniso NOTE: It is not mandatory to follow the same directory structure as present in the DVD but it will make your life easier or at the end some extra config files must be modified to make sure the boot process looks for the booting files in the correct location. You must replicate the directory structure as present in the Vanilla ISO from the original Red Hat or CentOS DVD.
