He, i have a question regarding automated installation (without any interaction) and the location of the kickstart file. Pxeboot is not supported by architecture reason. dhcp-option filename is used to give redhat-netboot-image filename to the client. I did not find any possibility to tell the network-booting client where to get the ks.cfg file. Is it not possible to use kickstart in this specific environment? Then i have to write a expect script, maybe python with module pexpect, but this seems this is hard to maintain through different version.
