John, you can use the DHCP server in Fedora to serve up the location
of a kickstart file. I do it routinely here. It involves adding a line
or two to your DHCP config file. See the Red Hat 9 Customization Guide
(http://www.redhat.net/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/pdf/rhl-cg-en-9.pdf).
I'd downloading the doc to see whether you're telling me something I
don't know - I normally do kickstart installs, using PXE or a modified
boot CD, but I particularly wanted to do a normal interactive install
this time.
It might be that ks actually does much what I want; I've never done an
interactive ks install.
I was thinking, maybe
... kbd=pc-us LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 TZ=Australia/Perth src=nfs://server/path
Now, the installation has died and there's a traceback. This brings me to
another gripe. I have a scrollable window of four lines. This
impossiblly small
(and persuaded me to not read the release notes). Someone needs to go to
usability school!
Speaking of usability school, please do something about the hideous
line wrapping of this email.
It's a mazing what Moz will do:-)
Helped with a little vim.
I created the report in vim. I thought I was doing it on my desktop,
where I've configured vim to wrap at 72. That would have been fine.
However, I was actually doing it on my (other) laptop where I've not
changed vim's defaults, and the text got wrapped at column 80.
Then, suspecting RH's mailing list software strips attachmends, I opened
the installations in kwrite so as to swipe and paste:-)
