I think anaconda is not involved at the stage of selection install method
its done in the loader if I'm not totally wrong. The loader is actually
parsing the kickstart config file (that how I discovered that it doesn't stop
parsing when it hits "%installclass" as it should. Hence you can't do a pre
thingy to set install type.... since it needs to be present much earlier

Hi
all
I want to select a different NFS install path depending on
options
passed through PXELINUX. Something like:
pxelinux.cfg
------------
label
el3_lws_safe
kernel
el3u5_x86_64/vmlinuz
append
ksdevice=eth0
ks=nfs:a.b.c.d:/export/install/rhel_x86_64_testing.cfg
load_ramdisk=1
initrd=el3u5_x86_64/initrd.img
ipappend
1
ks.cfg
------
lang en_US
langsupport
en_US
keyboard us
mouse genericwheelps/2
timezone --utc
Australia/Perth
rootpw --iscrypted
<snip>
reboot
install
%include /tmp/nfs.cfg
bootloader
--location=mbr
%pre
#!/bin/sh -x
for I in `cat
/proc/cmdline`; do
echo $I | grep -q initrd &&
P=`dirname \`echo $I | cut -d= -f2\``
Done
echo "nfs --server=
a.b.c.d --dir=/export/install/${P}" >
/tmp/nfs.cfg
---
However, when I do this, anaconda asks for
the install type (CDROM,
harddisk, ftp, nfs, etc) and refuses to use
NFS.
Is this possible? Is anyone else doing anything
similar?
Thanks
