NFS versus HTTP kickstart

[Matt Fahrner]

We currently use the NFS based kickstart for our installations but are 
trying to move to HTTP. However, in both our Fedora and RedHat 9 tests, 
while most things seem to be the same, some things don't seem to behave 
symmetrically.

For instance, and our biggest problem, is with Fedora Core 6 where with 
an NFS install it correctly probes and sets the graphics card in 
"/etc/xorg.conf" (to Intel "i810"), but with an HTTP install it probes 
it and sets the wrong one ("vesa").

We verified it's not an issue with the "%post" having a dependency on 
the NFS install directory, plus none of our home grown code/RPMs touches 
"xorg.conf". You'd think it would behave the same regardless.

Anyone with a possible explanation (or solution)?

Thanks in advance,

			- Matt
