## Note - Doc not finished yet! ##
This doc is reaching toward completion, however, has some errors that need correction first, as well as missing additions.
To-do:
- Fix kickstart template, it has a couple of issues, like creating user account creation that does conflict with first-boot, Qubes's initial-setup.
- Include template variants (for example to illustrate how they are modified, but this is a low-priority to-do).
- Sorting and including/excluding the proper packages that are recommended or optional (recommended packages are high priority, optional packages are low priority).
- Completting the sections that mention "may be included in the future" found a few places in the doc.
- Fixing bad tips, advices or KS-template layouts (proof-reading, requires extra study/read-up (must be done before official Qubes doc PR summit), or help from someone with insight).
- Fixing poor explanations (proof-reading).
- Fixing typo's and spelling errors, grammer etc, (proof-reading).
- Any feedback or contributions, like helping toward finishing the to-do, is very welcome and appreciated.
## Introduction ##
The purpose of kickstart files is to install an operation system from start to end with less, or no human interaction at all. A kickstart file is therefore essentially a pre-configuration of any settings you may normally need to adjust during a normal Linux install. Here you may find instructions on how to get started with Qubes OS and kickstart files.
In order to avoid confusion, please note that the use of the wording kickstarter template does not refer to Qubes templates, but rather a simple configuration file, which when loaded will semi or fully Autonomously install Qubes (or fedora/redhat/cent).
