Hi everyone,
I'm trying to provide my ks.cfg over dhcp so I only need to type 'linux
ks' at the boot prompt. The dhcpd/kickstart server are on the same
machine (192.168.0.1.) dhcp works, as well as kickstart if I run the
following command manually:
linux ks=nfs:192.168.0.1:/home/kickstart/rh9.cfg
In my dhcpd.conf file, I added following line in the subnet {} section:
filename "/home/kickstart/ks.cfg";
My /etc/exports file contains the following:
/home/kickstart *(ro)
The error I get is:
bootp: no bootfile received
Then it proceeds to look for the kickstart file at
nfs:192.168.0.1:/kickstart/kickstart-192.168.0.18
Any suggestions?
Thanks for helping me with the question about using perl in %pre. Since
you can't use perl in %pre from just the install CD, I ended up porting
my script to python which works well. And I learned a new programming
language in the process :).
Thank you.
