Hi everyone, I'm trying to provide my ks.cfg over dhcp so I only need to type 'linux ks' at the boot prompt. The dhcpd/kickstart server are on the same machine (192.168.0.1.) dhcp works, as well as kickstart if I run the following command manually: linux ks=nfs:192.168.0.1:/home/kickstart/rh9.cfg In my dhcpd.conf file, I added following line in the subnet {} section: filename "/home/kickstart/ks.cfg"; My /etc/exports file contains the following: /home/kickstart *(ro) The error I get is: bootp: no bootfile received Then it proceeds to look for the kickstart file at nfs:192.168.0.1:/kickstart/kickstart-192.168.0.18 Any suggestions? Thanks for helping me with the question about using perl in %pre. Since you can't use perl in %pre from just the install CD, I ended up porting my script to python which works well. And I learned a new programming language in the process :). Thank you. -- Joseph Glass Systems Administrator Liquid Web Inc. 800.580.4985 x227
