hello! I am trying using kickstart to deploy several machines. we use SL3.0.4 or Scientific Linux CERN 3.0.6, both behave on this similarly: The problem is that the booting program seems to ignore any kickstart instructions unless the kickstart conf. file is named 'ks.cfg' The idea was to have a kickstart configurations NFS share, and to point it out on boot via: boot: linux ks=nfs:<server>:/path/to/files/hostname.cfg but, there was a problem: if I am using NFS I must use DHCP, which I cannot use. SO I tried to use: boot: linux ks=hd:fd0:/hostname.cfg which didn't work and only when I use: boot: linux ks=floppy and the kickstart conf. file is named 'ks.cfg' the system picks it up. Is there another version of kickstart that can allow a static IP + NFS image uninterrupted installation ? Any other automated methods of installation? I was looking into FAI, but is works well only with Debian. Regards, Maxim.
