Hi
all
Still
struggling with this... Can I pass anaconda the NFS install path from
PXELINUX instead of within the kickstart config file? My target platforms
are EL3 and EL4.
Also,
I've been reading that anaconda can be updated by putting Python modules in
./RHupdates/ directory. Where do I find these Python
modules?
Thanks
CC

Subject: Re: Selecting NFS home via %pre sectionI think anaconda is not involved at the stage of selection install method its done in the loader if I'm not totally wrong. The loader is actually parsing the kickstart config file (that how I discovered that it doesn't stop parsing when it hits "%installclass" as it should. Hence you can't do a pre thingy to set install type.... since it needs to be present much earlierCheers The Frozen one....

Hi all
I want to select a different NFS install path depending on options
passed through PXELINUX. Something like:
pxelinux.cfg
------------
label el3_lws_safe
kernel el3u5_x86_64/vmlinuz
append ksdevice=eth0
ks=nfs:a.b.c.d:/export/install/rhel_x86_64_testing.cfg load_ramdisk=1
initrd=el3u5_x86_64/initrd.img
ipappend 1
ks.cfg
------
lang en_US
langsupport en_US
keyboard us
mouse genericwheelps/2
timezone --utc Australia/Perth
rootpw --iscrypted <snip>
reboot
install
%include /tmp/nfs.cfg
bootloader --location=mbr
%pre
#!/bin/sh -x
for I in `cat /proc/cmdline`; do
echo $I | grep -q initrd && P=`dirname \`echo $I | cut -d= -f2\``
Done
echo "nfs --server= a.b.c.d --dir=/export/install/${P}" > /tmp/nfs.cfg
---
However, when I do this, anaconda asks for the install type (CDROM,
harddisk, ftp, nfs, etc) and refuses to use NFS.
Is this possible? Is anyone else doing anything similar?
Thanks
