I have a need to dynamically generate the ks.cfg file. I want to get my ks.cfg file from a web server, specifically one which is running a CGI application. Based on the info supplied, the appropriate ks.cfg file would be created. Stuff that needs to be allocated on the fly? hostnames - reflective of the department and usage, maybe with a part of the IP IP information - some units are /24, some /23 and different types of machines need to have different subnets, twin tails etceteras Package selections - some units must connect to big databases, and need client drivers, others don't, still others might be running some sort of java passwd/shadow files need to differ from department to department (root passwords must differ between test/dev/admin etc.) Now, I've got a CGI script that will build an appropriate ks.cfg file, but I can't figure out how to make the booting naked client fetch it. Can someone point me to a resource that I can tweak to read (at boot) a line like: linux ks=http://some.machine.my/cgi-bin/script?test&serverA this would be most appreciated. Otherwise, I need some sort of kludge to make my farms and pristine environments... Any ideas? Many thanks in advance, 0d0 - odo@xxxxxxxxx
