RE: Using variables in kickstart file

I don't think #EOF will work, EOF has to be the first thing on the line.
Also, *I* would put the comments before/after writing the file, not in
the file itself:

# Now write them to file:
cat << EOF >> /tmp/networkinfo
network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip $ESXIP --netmask
255.255.255.0
EOF

Ok... let me give it a try.


commandline:
boot: yadda yadda yadda ESXIP=10.0.0.20 ESXVMOTION=10.0.2.20


Kickstart.cfg:

# Regional Settings
keyboard us
lang en_US
langsupport --default en_US
timezone  America/New_York

# Installatition settings
skipx
mouse none
firewall --disabled
# Unencrypted root password: password
rootpw --iscrypted $1$5a17$In5zYe6YsCty76AycpGaf/ reboot install url
--url http://192.168.3.150/esx/esx301/

# network configuration
%include /tmp/networkinfo

# Partitioning
clearpart --all --drives=cciss/c0d0 --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3
--size 250  --ondisk=cciss/c0d0
part swap   --size 1600  --ondisk=cciss/c0d0
part / --fstype ext3  --size 5120  --ondisk=cciss/c0d0 part /var
--fstype ext3  --size 2048  --ondisk=cciss/c0d0

%pre
# Read ESXIP and ESXVMOTION from commandline ESXIP=`awk -F "ESXIP="
'{print $2}' /proc/cmdline | cut -d " " -f 1` ESXVMOTION=`awk -F
"ESXVMOTION=" '{print $2}' /proc/cmdline | cut -d " " -f 1`

# Now write them to file:
cat << EOF >> /tmp/networkinfo

# Network Configurations
network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip $ESXIP --netmask
255.255.255.0 #EOF



Any good?
Gabrie
