= Embedding a Kickstart file in an ISO
[role="_abstract"]
You can use the Kickstart file provided with {microshift-short}, or you can update an existing {op-system-ostree} Installer (ISO) Kickstart file.
When ready, embed the Kickstart file into the ISO. Your Kickstart file must include detailed instructions about how to create a user and how to fetch and deploy the {op-system-ostree} image.
For information about Kickstarts, see the following links:
* link:https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/automatically_installing_rhel/creating-kickstart-files_rhel-installer[Creating Kickstart files]
* link:https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/automatically_installing_rhel/kickstart-script-file-format-reference_rhel-installer#kickstart-file-format_kickstart-script-file-format-reference[A.1. Kickstart file format]
* link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/60959[How to embed a Kickstart file into an ISO image]
.Prerequisites
* You created a {op-system-ostree} Installer (ISO) image containing your {op-system-ostree} commit with {microshift-short}.
* You have an existing Kickstart file ready for updating. You can use the `microshift-starter.ks` Kickstart file provided with the {microshift-short} RPMs.
.Procedure
. In the main section of the Kickstart file, update the setup of the filesystem such that it contains an LVM volume group called `rhel` with at least 10GB system root. Leave free space for the LVMS CSI driver to use for storing the data for your workloads.

# Partition disk such that it contains an LVM volume group called `rhel` with a
# 10GB+ system root but leaving free space for the LVMS CSI driver for storing data.
#
# For example, a 20GB disk would be partitioned in the following way:
#
# NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
# sda 8:0 0 20G 0 disk
# ├─sda1 8:1 0 200M 0 part /boot/efi
# ├─sda1 8:1 0 800M 0 part /boot
# └─sda2 8:2 0 19G 0 part
# └─rhel-root 253:0 0 10G 0 lvm /sysroot
#
ostreesetup --nogpg --osname=rhel --remote=edge \

part /boot/efi --fstype=efi --size=200
part /boot --fstype=xfs --asprimary --size=800
# Uncomment this line to add a SWAP partition of the recommended size
#part swap --fstype=swap --recommended
part pv.01 --grow
volgroup rhel pv.01

# To add users, use a line such as the following
user --name=<YOUR_USER_NAME> \
--password=<YOUR_HASHED_PASSWORD> \
--iscrypted --groups=<YOUR_USER_GROUPS>

. In the `%post` section of the Kickstart file, add your pull secret and the mandatory firewall rules.
