I'm sure there's probably a way to incorperate all this into a >%pre, but I was wondering if anyone has done it before. Just to confirm; you want to use WiFi at kickstart-time, presumably for accessing one or more of: - PXELINUX (the binary itself) - PXELINUX config file - Anaconda stage 1 (vmlinuz + initrd) - Kickstart file - Anaconda stage 2 - RPMs, %post resources and everything else ?? The further down that list we go, the easier it becomes. I'm not aware of any PXE-bootable WiFi cards (somebody correct me please), so you'll have to deliver Anaconda stage 1 some other way (i.e. CD). After that, there are "airo", "wvlan", and "orin" modules available, so a wireless delivery of stage 2 onwards should be fine. [I'm using RHEL3, YMMV] Cheers, Phil
