Extracting variables from within ks.cfg, interpreted from command-line

[Shabazian, Chip]

This is what I use in my command section:
%include /tmp/partinfo

And this is in my %pre:
ETH=`grep DEVICE /tmp/netinfo | cut -d = -f 2`
IP=`ifconfig $ETH | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 1`
NETMASK=`ifconfig $ETH | grep inet | cut -d : -f 4`
GATEWAY=`route -n| grep "^0.0.0.0" | cut -b 17-32 | cut -d " " -f 1`
HOSTNAME=`grep HOSTNAME /tmp/netinfo | cut -d = -f 2 | cut -d . -f 1`

cat << EOF > /tmp/buildnet
network --device $ETH --bootproto static --ip=$IP --netmask=$NETMASK
--gateway=$
GATEWAY --hostname=$HOSTNAME
EOF

This works every time, whether you get your IP address from DHCP, or
specify it on the command line.

This doesn't quite feel like CRLF-line-endings, but worth a check. Can
you post your kickstart file?


Cheers,
