[Spacewalk-list] how to register kickstarted systems into spacewalk

[Josh.Mullis at cox.com]

Rob,

You can accomplish this by a  simple script in the pre section...


############
%pre
############

#!/bin/bash

echo -n "Enter hostname: "
read KS_HOSTNAME






... And in the "--hostname" flag of the network line put our variable:

--hostname $KS_HOSTNAME



Let me know if this works.

-Josh

I haven't had a great deal of luck with that other than editing the .ks file each time I build a machine and changing this line:

network --device eth0 --bootproto static --hostname machine.domain.com

Not bad for doing one machine at a time but, not good for doing a bunch at one time.
