Re: kickstarting using an smb server?

Ok,

I am answering myself, or better: "I need your knowledge!"

First of all: Sorry bout my bad english, next the cause of needing that kind 
of dirty hack: I ve got to migrate many workstatins from os2 to linux and the 
only thing I have to use for it are os2 servers running smb and an network 
that is absolutly overloaded. So there is no way to set up an ftp or http 
server without having security problems or paining the bandwith.
No way - belive me, I ve checked and tested that all.
The only way is to kickstart using os2 (dhcp and so on, ok) as an smb server 
for my linux system, so I need any idea kickstarting out of it.

Does anybody know how to realize that stupid thing?

My idea using the %pre section, smbmount- ing the smb share and using that as 
an --dir and --harddrive value wasnt very helpful because of not having an 
--harddrive while using an smb share.

Thank you for every hint that you can give,

Niels
