Automatic installation for Red Hat 7+

[Rilescat]

Good day all,
I need to setup an automatic installation for Red Hat 7+. This is intended for use in a classroom that will have the machines wiped and reset for a new class every week. The hardware is not exactly the same on every system, so I would like this to be as hardware independent as possible.
I would like to simply make a bootable image CD that would run through a script and install Red Hat with the settings and packages that I have set for it.

Does anyone have an idea on how I can proceed?

Thank you.

Shawn

what you want to do is a "kickstart" install. It is very easy. Install it once and then putthe kickstart file (that is generated and put into the /root directory) onto a floppy. Then the next time you can just type "linux ks=floppy" and the installer will go by itself.
