preseed question
I have two questions. I am wondering if I am able to specify a location on an NFS share for the preseed file during the netboot? I've notice only url and file are specified in the docs. Also I am wondering if there is a way in the preseed file to do the client install from an NFS share? My goal is to just use NFS as apposed to installing a WEB server to use the local mirror. Thanks in advance. Bjorn
Re: preseed question
Thank you for the reply. I follow what you are saying, however, I am not understanding "fetch-methods". What is this? I don't see this in the documentation.
