According to the Red Hat manual, when one specifies a kickstart file on the server with either nfs or http, anaconda (?) initiates a dhcp query to get the address of the client interface. Anyone know a way around this?
On my network segment, I do not have a dhcp server. I can specify the local interface address with grub to get the installation kernel from the kickstart server. I can specify the address again in the kickstart file to tell anaconda where to get the installation files. However, it seems the process wants the local address specified a third time if I put the kickstart file on the kickstart server, and it insists on using dhcp to get the address. Anyone know if there is a way at this point to specify a fixed address for the local interface?
Thanks!
