Can anyone help me with adding these variables to the system add command as
# cobbler system add --name=00:0C:29:71:D7:4D --profile=CentOS-4.5-i386
HOSTNAME=test IPADDR=192.168.10.23
this command doesn't take an option called 'HOSTNAME'
and this is the section from my kickstart.ks
network --bootproto=static --device=eth0 --onboot=on --ip=$IPADDR
--netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.10.1 --nameserver 192.168.10.4
--hostname=$HOSTNAME
thanks for all the help so far
