A natural extension of using DHCP and PXE to get to a kickstart install is to follow RFC2489 to get a DHCP option number assigned. This would give anaconda a reserved place to get the ks.cfg location from the DHCP server without overloading option 67 or the bootfile; Cheers, Matt -- Matt Wilson rpath, Inc. msw@xxxxxxxxx
