Provisioner, by default, provisions systems with U.S. English language and U.S keyboard support.

 

In order to customize the provisioning process to support other languages, edit the kickstart file in the Template Role's GUI page in the area shown below:

 

MAC-Spec_template_RHEL55_autofilled_arrow_customize

 

 

 

Example 1: Provisioning Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x and 6.x with Japanese language and keyboard support

 

Comment out the following lines:

#lang en_US.UTF-8

#keyboard us

 

Insert the following lines:

lang ja_JP.UTF-8

keyboard jp106

 

Under %packages, add a line for language support:

@ Japanese-support

 

The resulting provisioned system will be similar to:

 

Japanese_RHEL6x_after install

 

 

 

Example 2: Provisioning CentOS 5.x with Japanese language and keyboard support

 

Comment out the following lines:

#lang en_US.UTF-8

#langsupport --default=en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

#keyboard us

 

Insert the following lines:

lang ja_JP.UTF-8

langsupport --default=ja_JP.UTF-8 ja_JP.UTF-8

keyboard jp106

 

Under %packages, add a line for language support and comment out "@ office":

@ Japanese-support

#@ office

 

The resulting provisioned system will be similar to:

 

Japanese_CentOS5x_after install
