No, I meant on the client side i.e. on the node where i intend to install the OS. I plan to pxe boot the node into a linux shell and then execute the required installer (autoyast for suse) depending on the required distro...
Hmmm, I'd be interested in what you come up with for sure! May even be able to help you out with it on work's dime. Though I'm not sure you can do that. I know in the reading I did for Anaconda/Kickstart, it said that one of the first checks it does is whether the boot CD you are using to invoke the kickstart is of the same distro as the one you are trying to install. So you can't even e.g. use a FC5 CD to install FC6. Though I guess you might be able to figure out how to spoof it. I am still trying to figure out client-side for SuSe. Apparently you can boot off a USB stick with an "info file" but I still have not sat down to give a good try at it - still haven't found a good example. So for the moment I'm still using CD #1 and typing in that gawd-awful command line with "install=" and "autoyast=" -- "Aikido has but one principle - the universal reality of life" - Mitsugi Saotome -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
