Kickstart via PXE/NFS

[SSTinsley at upsfreight.com]

I have now tried the install by using DHCP and fixed IP address. I would 
hope that 
assigning the IP with kernel arguments through the pxelinux cfg would 
work. Assuming
it does, the only other common error is related to DNS. I do not have DNS 
available 
on this private install net. Does Anaconda require DNS for a completely 
hands-off
install?
