Hi All, On the way to making my super CD that supports dozens of RHEL versions and updates, I wanted to test support for non-DCHP installs (just incase). And I can feed the following boot options to the loader: linux ks=http://some.server/some.script ip=1.2.3.4 netmask=255.255.255.128 gateway=1.2.3.1 dns=1.2.3.2 And that works, it doesn't try to use DHCP for any of that information. But it DOES sit there and try to figure out its hostname and domain name! And because I haven't supplied those, it times out trying to determine those values. Does anyone happen to know how you can tell anaconda what the systems hostname and domain are supposed to be via the boot commandline? Maybe its just host= domain=? hostname=? node=? Well, before I guess more, and before I try to google even more, I figured I'd ask you guys because I know you know. =) Thanks, Christian _________________ Christian Rohrmeier Schering AG Corporate IT - Infrastructure and Services Computer Systems and Operations System Administration - Research and Development Tel +49 30 468 15794 Fax +49 30 468 95794
