I think anaconda is not involved at the stage of selection
install method its done in the loader if I'm not totally wrong. The
loader is actually parsing the kickstart config file (that how I
discovered that it doesn't stop parsing when it hits "%installclass" as
it should. Hence you can't do a pre thingy to set install type.... since
it needs to be present much earlier

Hi all
I want to select a different NFS install path depending
on options
passed through PXELINUX. Something like:
pxelinux.cfg
------------
label el3_lws_safe
kernel el3u5_x86_64/vmlinuz
append ksdevice=eth0
ks=nfs:a.b.c.d:/export/install/rhel_x86_64_testing.cfg
load_ramdisk=1
initrd=el3u5_x86_64/initrd.img
ipappend 1
ks.cfg
------
lang en_US
langsupport en_US
keyboard us
mouse genericwheelps/2
timezone --utc Australia/Perth
rootpw --iscrypted <snip>
reboot
install
%include /tmp/nfs.cfg
bootloader --location=mbr
%pre
#!/bin/sh -x
for I in `cat /proc/cmdline`; do
echo $I | grep -q initrd && P=`dirname \`echo $I | cut
-d= -f2\``
Done
echo "nfs --server= a.b.c.d --dir=/export/install/${P}"
> /tmp/nfs.cfg
---
However, when I do this, anaconda asks for the install
type (CDROM,
harddisk, ftp, nfs, etc) and refuses to use NFS.
Is this possible? Is anyone else doing anything
similar?
Thanks
