once again, reading the kickstart docs in the customization guide, and something is a little vague. regarding how to refer to the location of the ks config file in the DHCP file, the docs list three possibilities: 1) if bootfile begins with a /, that's the file to use from the NFS server (the fully-qualified name) 2) if bootfile does *not* begin with a /, look in /kickstart for that file on the NFS server 3) if no bootfile line, look for /kickstart/<ipaddr>-kickstart on the NFS server so a few questions about the above. a) the docs don't mention the possibility that, if the bootfile line (which, in /etc/dhcpd.conf, is actually the "filename" line, right?) ends with a "/", that's a directory inside of which to look for the file <ipaddr>-kickstart b) regarding choice 2) above, if the bootfile name does not begin with a "/", can it be a multi-level directory pathname rather than just a simple filename? c) can you combine a couple of these options, to have a line in /etc/dhcpd.conf like: filename "a/" ; filename "a/b/c/" ; which implies both that you should look in /kickstart on the NFS server, and that these are directories inside of which you should be looking for files with the name <ipaddr>-kickstart? i'm not suggesting that this last possibility has immediate practical value -- i'm just curious. rday
