You can use: boot: ks=http://xxxxxx ip=xxxxx netmask=xxxxx gateway=xxxxx dns=xxxxx One caveat, do not put TOO much on the boot: line, there is a 255 character limitation. Since you are supplying the dns server, you can use name resolution. Once the kickstart file is retrieved, the NIC will be cycled again, and it will use whatever is inside the kickstart file itself.

Have a look to the ip kernel parameter: > ip=<client ip>:<server ip>:<gateway > ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf> I don't think the kernel's going to interpret this (when last I read up on this, it required the NIC driver to be built into the kernel, and for kernel support to be explicitly configured in). However, it is possible for the linuxrc script (and its successors) to interpret it. Certainly, IP= works in Ubuntu, but I've not explored why, I just assumed it's done in the scripts & didn't need to know one way or the other. > > In your case, I should try something like this: > > linux ks=http://<http server ip>/ks.cfg ip=<client ip>::<gateway ip>:<netmask>::: _That_ would _never_ work on _my_ server. My server like names, not numbers - they are delicate souls:-) -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Z1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Please do not reply off-list _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
