I have about 10 different Linux builds (ES3 & ES4, 32bit & 64bit) that I "manage" through Altiris. The builds are all common kickstart images that I house on a Linux server running http & nfs. On the Altiris side, you copy the vmlinuz & initrd from each distro, and create the "job" that simply boots that kernel, and points to your kickstart. Since this was a setup that I took over, it still uses DOS as the boot, but it works fine. It's just slow. We don't actually use Altiris to do anything other than launch the kickstart, and install the proliant tools on our hp servers. Everything else is handled in the kickstart config for Linux builds. - -Dan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFrjONKBx1bl6SFWURAqFqAJ4piJhTk6ZAEuGCupInsRlq+nkGJgCggbdF KjIYeI+AbDXTgTQLW0yhSAg= =CHwi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
