Unattended install right from the ISO boot to a working SSH login?

[Fernando Cassia]

Is there a way to make Fedora install unattended, right from the boot
until I can SSH into it?.

I'd like being able to boot a new Virtualbox virtual machine right
from the Fedora XFCE ISO, and then from the Virtualbox host, ssh into
the brand new VM client and customize it using SSH shell scripts (SU,
yum install, etc).

Is there any way to tweak the ISO to specify "unattended install" and
the root password (to be later changed  after VM is installed).?

The main idea is turning this into a bash script so I can download
whatever new Fedora version and to the VM install "automagically".

Thanks in advance.

Look and you'll find. :)

This is used all the time in large-scale installations. Or even small scale
installations. I can't imagine running a production Linux environment
without it.

Thanks a bunch, Carlos and Matthew!

I wonder like why, -like so many other wonderful pieces of FOSS
software- I had never heard of it before until now, being SO useful.
:)

Thanks!

Absultely. What you're looking for is "kickstart". Take a look at the
documentation here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart

I don't know what you need to do to provide boot paramters to virtual box,
but I do it with virt-install, using the '-x' option to provide the ks
command line flag with a URL to the kickstart file.
