I want to install many systems using the same kickstart file, but they need to be setup with static IP addresses. The install is performed using PXE/DHCP. In production, the systems will have statically assigned IP addresses, which will be the same as the one given by the DHCP server during installation. Since I want to use a single kickstart file, I can't hardcode the IP address ... I was thinking about having a %pre script that checks the IP address it got from the DHCP server, and creates a temporary file like /tmp/network-config.inc , and use this to set the parameters for the "network" option of kickstart by doing: %include /tmp/network-config.inc Does anybody have a better suggestion (other than the obvious of running the production environment with DHCP, which is not an option) ? Thanks --Coutch
