How do i make sure that only my new-server will get IP from Redhat DHCP via PXE and no other clients will get any from Redhat DHCP. or shall i say, all other machines will get DHCP from the Windows DHCP , and only the server I want to install Redhat will get IP from the Redhat DHCP.<br><br>thanks in advance.<br><br>Sirjune<br><br><br><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> "CHU, STEPHEN H" <sc1680@att.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Sir June <sir_june@yahoo.com> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, January 31, 2012 10:22 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> RE: kickstart dhcp issues<br> </font> </div> <br> <div id="yiv1812957964"> <style></style> <div> <div class="yiv1812957964WordSection1"> <div class="yiv1812957964MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">Sirjune,</span></div> <div class="yiv1812957964MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;"> </span></div> <div class="yiv1812957964MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">Try ksdevice=link or ksdevice=bootif.
