I would like to have my kickstart floppy specify the location of the of the kickstart file on network, without using the DHCP server, since the DHCP server is out of my control. This worked fine with RedHat 7.x and 8.0, but as far as I can tell, it is not possible with RedHat 9. The kickstart file can tell it where to find the network driver, but without a network driver, it can't get the kickstart file. The only alternative I can see is to store the kickstart configuration file directly on the boot floppy. That's a problem because it means whenever the kickstart configuration changes, I have to distribute new boot disks. With the earlier releases, I could distribute one boot floppy, and if a change is needed, all I have to do is change the copy on the NFS server - people can continue to use the same boot disk. Am I missing something? The RedHat 9 scheme feels like a step backward to me. -- Peter Fales Lucent Technologies, Room 1C-436 N9IYJ 2000 N Naperville Rd PO Box 3033 internet: psfales@xxxxxxxxxx Naperville, IL 60566-7033 work: (630) 979-8031
