I meet problems when I use kickstart to do a full automation installation. I
try to install the OS from a NFS server, all the ISO files and kickstart
configuration files are in network. It works well if we have one network card
only, but if some machine have 2 network card, it can not do it automatically.
The kickstart manual says that if we have two network card, we must put the
kickstart configuration file in local file system. Does it mean we do not have
any other solution if we put the configuration file in network? If you know
how to do it, would you please tell me, your suggestion is helpful for me,
thanks so much.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
