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 > Hello everybody, > > does anbody know whether its possible to get the packages from an smb > server instead of using nfs, http or ftp? > > I need this because its the only network file sharing protocol running on > an os2-server in the whole network. > > Maybe its possible to use smbmount in the %pre section and than using the > "file" install method or something like that, but I didnt tried yet.
