from the online html docs for kickstart on red hat 7.2, there is a discussion of the two directives filename ... next-server ... in the file /etc/dhcpd.conf. the docs state that "... if you don't specify a server name, then the client system will attempt to use the server that answered the BOOTP/DHCP request as its NFS server." fair enough. but the next line says, "If you don't specify a path or filename, the client system will try to mount /kickstart from the BOOTP/DHCP server..." does this mean you can't just have a "next-server" directive without a "filename" directive? the above *appears* to suggest that, if you don't have a "filename" directive, you *must* use the DHCP server as the NFS server for the client. is this true? seems a rather silly restriction if it is. rday p.s. and no, i'm probably not done asking dumb questions about kickstart.
