I don't know if I'm understanding the question, but is there a dhcp server, or an arp server running to get an IP to talk to NFS, to get your static IP from the kickstart file?

But if I have to enter in static IP network information, then it doesn't seem to be able to find the kickstart file via NFS. Any ideas why this might be? I have the ISOs shared via NFS and I can use those as the install media with both configurations, but I can't access the kickstart file. For now, I can put the kickstart file on the CD disk, but it would be nice to be able to have the config be in some central location.
