netboot/install on power architecture

Wed Jun 2 09:36:57 UTC 2004

He,

i have a question regarding automated installation (without any 
interaction) and the location of the kickstart file. Pxeboot is not 
supported by architecture reason. dhcp-option filename is used to give 
redhat-netboot-image filename to the client.

I did not find any possibility to tell the network-booting client where to 
get the ks.cfg file. Is it not possible to use kickstart in this specific 
environment? Then i have to write a expect script, maybe python with 
module pexpect, but this seems this is hard to maintain through different 
version.

Best Regards,
Joerg Maier
