Increase pump timeout for kickstart configuration *or* use static IP to retrieve kickstart configuration file?

[Nick Lange <nicklange@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good Morning everyone,
    I have a network based kickstart install server going; however, on a second 
network the dhcp response time is slooow [up to one minute]. This factor is 
outside my control. Is it possible to either
1.) Increase the DHCP timeout time from the command line?
2.) use a static IP for retrieval of the kickstart file at boot time [the manual 
says that DHCP/BOOTP must be used, but the archives indicate that it might be 
possible to use a static ip]

Thanks for your help everyone.
cheers,
nick
