Re: static network configuration ask

["Kit Stube" <kstube gmail com>]

Cobbler looks cool. Kinda like a front end for pxelinux and isc dhcpd?  The problem we have is we don't want to have to look up the mac address for a host in order to configure it.   Cobbler seems to rely on that.

Currently we have our dhcp server on an install network dump anyone that netboots on that network to a default pxelinux menu.  That default menu allows a person to chose an os to install.  Chosing one kicks them into one of several different default kickstart files.   If I could get kickstart to ask for static network information like it would if I was installing from CD, I would be done.
