The attached patch adds network configuration options to koan so that it will add them to the kernel command line with --autonet. This makes it really trivial to install VM's with static networking from a profile. for vmnum in `seq -f%02g 0 99` do let ip='vmnum + 16' domU="myvm-${vmnum}" koan -v -s cobbler -n -p centos5-xen -V $domU -P vgxen00 -A --ip=192.168.9.$ip --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.9.1 --hostname=$domU done While I could add the systems to cobbler with a similar loop then install using a system, I don't really want to track all of these VM's in cobbler. Some are throw-away. Some come and go too often for it to be useful. "Just use DHCP" is not the answer, due to a number of issues, both technical and historical. -Al
