Description of problem:
* Using either the redhat-config-network GUI or the pxeboot CLI, the
kickstart file location information is not saved in the resulting
configuration file in /tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/.  

*If you go to create a new host in the GUI (File->New), you can
specify the location of the kickstart file in the field "Kickstart
File."  With the CLI, you use the -K option to specify the location of
the kickstart file.

* Using the following command line (having previously configured the
"rhel-3-as" Operating System description):

pxeboot -a -K ks.cfg -r 10000 -s -O rhel-3-as 192.168.1.12

* Will create the following output in
/tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/C0A8010C:

===== START OUTPUT =====

default rhel-3-as

label rhel-3-as
    kernel rhel-3-as/vmlinuz
    append initrd=rhel-3-as/initrd.img console=ttyS0  ramdisk_size=10000

===== END OUTPUT =====

* Note that there is no mention of the ks.cfg file.
* In /usr/share/redhat-config-netboot/pxeboot.py, line 181 assembles
the "append" line seen above:

            appendLine = "    append initrd=%s/initrd.img %s %s %s " %
(self.__getLabel(),
self.__getConsoleString(),self.__getKickstartString(),self.__getRamdiskString())

* Above, you see the function self.__getKickstartString() being
called.  The definition for this function starts on line 116 of
pxeboot.py:

    def __getKickstartString(self):
        return ""

* As you can see, the function returns an empty string.

* I hope the above informaiton is helpful.  Please contact me at
gary if you need further information.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-netboot-0.1.1-19

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type: pxeboot -a -K ks.cfg -r 10000 -s -O rhel-3-as 192.168.1.12
2.Type: cat /tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/C0A8010C
3.Notice there is no mention of ks.cfg in
/tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/C0A8010C
    

Expected Results:  The file
/tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/C0A8010C should have made some
mention of the location of the kickstart file (ks.cfg in above example).


Additional info:

It is not clear what you would have to enter for the location of the
kickstart file if you wanted it to be pulled from an NFS server.
