I'm having some trouble with kickstart... I've created a ks.cfg file and put it on the DHCP server in /usr/kickstart. I've also NFS shared that directory. In /usr/kickstart, I have a directory called RedHat which contains a base directory, RPMS directory and Updates directory all from the CDs. When I boot one of the other machines using "linux ks", its asks for an IP address from the DHCP server and is able to get it, however after that it looks like it boots and installs from the local CD including prompting me for everything. I don't want it to do this. I'd like for it to obtain everything from the server and be non-interactive. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on? Here's what my kickstart file looks like: # Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda. install nfs --server <my server ip address> --dir /usr/kickstart/RedHat lang en_US.UTF-8 langsupport --default en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us mouse genericwheelps/2 --device psaux xconfig --card "Intel 865" --videoram 65536 --hsync 30-80 --vsync 56-76 --resolution 1280x1024 --depth 24 --startxonboot --defaultdesktop gnome network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp rootpw --iscrypted $1$wWBwwWXs$8x4yJ9GOx770D1kzT4. firewall --enabled --port=ssh:tcp authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 timezone America/New_York bootloader --location=mbr --append hdc=ide-scsi # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work clearpart --all --drives=sda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=sda part / --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --grow --ondisk=sda part swap --size=1000 --grow --maxsize=2000 --ondisk=sda %packages @ office @ kde-desktop @ engineering-and-scientific @ gnome-desktop @ dialup @ sound-and-video @ editors @ admin-tools @ system-tools @ base-x @ graphics @ development-tools @ printing @ games @ text-internet @ graphical-internet @ compat-arch-support kernel-smp kernel grub vnc %post ----- Ryan Golhar Analyst II The Informatics Institute at The University of Medicine & Dentistry of NJ Phone: 973-972-5034 Fax: 973-972-7412 Email: golharam@xxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
