Hello,
I have two PC here. PC1 is used as dhcp server and PC2 as client.
PC1 have one NIC and config as eth0; PC2 have two NICs and
named as eth0 and eth1.
I just want to install Rh9 via PXE and kickstart file and PC2 eth1 on PC2. So dhcp
will get PC2 subnet,gateway and netmask info by sending

Hello!
I've been setting up kickstart files for a little while now, but haven't yet
found a solution to a problem that I often have. Most of our machines have more
than one network card, and it seems that the device names (eth0, eth1..) get
handed out, in order, as the kernel
Under all previous versions of RedHat Linux, there was a hdlist file
that was generated by genhdlist that was the source of all the package
list info used by anaconda as well as kickstart. RH8 clearly no
longer uses this scheme -- what's the equivalent under RH8..?
Any pointers wou
f the installation set etc.
i'm always interested in new ways to approach kickstart, since it's became
one of my favourite nightmares since 5.2 :)
but, maybe i'm missing something from this thread and it is possible that
i missunderstand something here..

Hi there,
Anyone know why a '?' is appended to the outputted filenames?
For example if I do,

echo "Does this run in Upgrade mode?" > /etc/jeff
I will find the file /etc/jeff? in my installation, instead of, /etc/jeff
Is this normal?

Hello,
I had my kickstart config file setup to do network headless installation.
The problem I ran into is after client completes the installation I have no
way of login on to the client. I want to add a user during install, so I
can login remotely.
Is there an option in the kickstart file

and test lots of kernels, maybe increase the size.

Hi,
I like the kickstart tool very much - but I searched in vain
in the archive for the following problem:
- kickstart sorts the partitions according size. It starts
with the largest one. So I have to repartion afterwards to

How can I partition in the order I put into
Will there be any new work on kickstart in 6.2 and 7.0?
If so, what changes/improvements might we be install for?
