The kickstart file can be given as an argument to the kernel at boot time. This can be a file on the floppy/cd or a URL. I prefer to put the kickstart on a local webserver and so have "ks=http:/myserver/install.ks" in my grub.conf or equivalent. This works of course whether or not you use DHCP.

If that is stored on the network, we have a 'catch-22' here. I would hazard a guess and suggest modifying the initrd to setup the networking. I haven't tried it, but it looks like it might be the way to go. Ajay On Mon, May 19, 2003 at 12:32:13PM -0500, Lambert, Eric wrote: > Yes.
