Could do it by pxe if you've got pxe-capable cards... Or... Use floppies: generate your ks.cfg from your cgi, then crack open a stock bootnet.img and tuck the ks.cfg into the initrd.img. I wrote a quick script to assist in this: http://sf.net/projects/rdstuff Make your cgi create a directory for each host, put the newly created bootnet.img into that dir and let the users download that. -----Original Message----- From: Jason L Tibbitts III [mailto:tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2003 8:48 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: generating multiple kickstart files >>>>> "r" == red <John> writes: r> It seems to me you're close to having a CGI interface that can r> generate them on the fly. Well, the problem is that since the boot disk is identical and the machines use DHCP to get net access in order to download the kickstart file, there's no easy way to automatically generate the right config file for a machine. The IP that connects to get the file isn't the same IP that the machine will end up with. I suppose I could do it by hardware address, taking the remote IP and looking in the ARP table. - J< _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
