Description Dag Wieers 2002-11-05 03:25:13 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
It would be nice to be able to get the kickstart configuration file using either
ftp or tftp (in addition to http, nfs, disk and floppy). As one (or both) of
these services are needed for an unattended installation, it would lower the
requirements.

Especially in those cases were you are obliged to have another OS (like OS/2 and
Windows) to do the installation from, less requirements will ease such a setup.

In the case of tftp, it could even default to the ip-adres that was used to get
the pxelinux.0 (bootimage). Especially when ipappend has been specified and this
information is available to the install process.

Added ftp to cvs.  tftp isn't going to happen due to space constraints.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2006-04-24 18:06:07 UTC

Mass-closing lots of old bugs which are in MODIFIED (and thus presumed to be
fixed).  If any of these are still a problem, please reopen or file a new bug
against the release which they're occurring in so they can be properly tracked.
