Please help with the IPv6 installation support

Fri Nov 2 02:06:58 UTC 2007

Hi Rick,

Thank you for your help, but I still have one questions about the kickstart
config file,
I can configure the NFS server by specifying "%ethX" at the end of the IPv6
address of the remote host, and except that, is there any other different
config in the
kickstart file to using IPv6 NFS network installation?

Is that any related document that can guide me to do IPv6 NFS network
installation step by step?
if there is, then it is so GREAT!

In addition, which release does RedHatEL begin to support IPv6 NFS network
installation?
then I can begin to probe them, thank you.

Best Regards,

RHEL does support normal IPv6 operations.

If you're trying to do a network install (http, ftp, NFS) and your
machine has multiple NICs, then the specification of the host containing
the install images MUST include the ID of the ethernet NIC you wish to
use (eth0, eth1, etc.) by specifying "%ethX" at the end of the IPv6
address of the remote host.
