Thanks for the tips. I am using cobbler to manage the dhcp, it does have the next-server lines, the dhcp and tftp logs ( using -vvvv ) switch show everything working up to the point of requesting the htttp: kickstart file. I did pull that file from another machine ( my laptop, using http ) on the same network. Used the exact same URL cut-n-pasted from the cobbler file. Therefore, the www server seems to be working fine, as is the network. Only one interface is connected to the network; there are four interfaces. I do not set up the other three in the kickstart file, but that probably does not matter, since the kickstart file is not being used. Am upgrading cobbler -- will try again shortly. Thanks again! _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
