Re: Linux, RH, kickstart and PXE

Hi Mark,

No worries, I'm using 4, and 5 and Fedora 7 with cobbler it all works well.

Some things don't work with 4 but that's b/c the kickstart options only work with 5 and above (i.e. the repo commands).

Anyway, check out:
https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/cobbler/wiki/UserDocs

b/c once you start with kickstart you're gonna want to template stuff and there's alot already answered at the above link.

Trust me... I feel your pain. From SunOS 2.4 -> Solaris9 and hoping to never go back (though all of my "hip" friends tell me solaris 10 finally got it right)

Good luck.

Cheers,
Harry

Do you need help?X
