Anaconda is the installation program used by Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and some other distributions.
|
|
|
|
During installation, a target computer's hardware is identified and configured, and the appropriate file systems for the system's architecture are created.
|
|
Finally, Anaconda allows the user to install the operating system software on the target computer.
|
|
Anaconda can also upgrade existing installations of earlier versions of the same distribution.
|
|
After the installation is complete, you can reboot into your installed system and continue doing customization using https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/InitialSetup[initial setup].
|
|
|
|
Anaconda is a fairly sophisticated installer.
|
|
It supports installation from local and remote sources such as CDs and DVDs, images stored on a hard drive, NFS, HTTP, and FTP.
|
|
Installation can be scripted with https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/[kickstart] to provide a fully unattended installation that can be duplicated on scores of machines.
|
|
It can also be run over VNC on headless machines.
|
|
A variety of advanced storage devices including LVM, RAID, iSCSI, and multipath are supported from the partitioning program.
|
|
Anaconda provides advanced debugging features such as remote logging, access to the python interactive debugger, and remote saving of exception dumps.
|
