just the first boot, that makes life the easiest. Otherwise, you can
create a kickstart file that simply takes the values entered on the boot: line
and creates a static network entry for them in %pre that is then included in the
command section.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

ask<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Is there an option that will allow me to automate everything in
kickstart except just the network portion so that I can have the same kickstart
config for a bunch of clustered hosts but input the network information
myself? <BR><BR>The reason I ask is because I would like to automate
a lot of other stuff in %post or on first boot but need networking to be
set up properly by the time that stuff runs or it will screw all of that
up.<BR><BR>Thanks in advance <BR>Kit Stube<BR></BODY></HTML>
