Description Need Real Name 2002-05-14 22:15:44 UTC

Description of Problem:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/custom-guide/s1-kickstart2-startinginstall.html

This page documents the http syntax as:

ks=http:server:/path/to/ks.cfg

This does not work on the 7.2 kickstart.  The syntax that does work is:

ks=http://server/path/to/ks.cfg

The 7.3 rhl-cg has the same syntax as the 7.2 rhl-cg, but we have not tested to
see which syntax 7.3 accepts.

Does nfs need to say ks=nfs://server/path/to/ks.cfg also?

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2002-05-31 22:28:40 UTC

I have not tried this with 7.3, but the NFS syntax we have used 
in the past was:

nfs --server 10.0.0.1 --dir /redhat/linux/6.2/en/os/i386/

This was known to work in 6.2, 7.0 and 7.1 at least.

Comment 4 Need Real Name 2002-05-31 22:39:20 UTC

Doh! disregard that.  That's from the kickstart files on where to install from,
not what to pass on the command line for where to pull the kickstart itself
from.  If I have time to test out loading the kickstart file itself off NFS,
I'll give it a try, but it will be about 2 weeks before I may be able to experiment.

Comment 5 Tammy Fox 2002-06-03 22:55:22 UTC

Ok. I fixed the http syntax on the website and in CVS.

Comment 6 Tammy Fox 2002-06-04 23:28:01 UTC

NFS needs the colon.
