That seems to be the only hole I can find. I do not have a name server running on the Kickstart/PXE/NFS server, Maybe I should? Does anyone know if failure to perform DNS lookups would break Kickstart (which, if so, is utterly retarded)? I'm going to set this up now, maybe it will work. More 2 come...
