Hi,
We are using PXELinux 1.75, ISC DHCP 3.0pl1 and atftp-0.6 to deploy RH
7.3 across a number of Dell Rackmount systems.
I would like to set things up so that the RH boot kernel grabs the IP
Address, gateway aand DNS address from the
first DHCP request with 'ipappend 1', but so far have had no success,
Kickstart issue a seconed request after
booting the kernel.
Here are my configs:
Have I put 'ipappend 1' in the right place?
TIA
Shaun
