Hi again. I just tried an HTTP install instead of the regular CDROM install for a FC1 system. So far so good, but I have to re-select all the different packages manually. Next I found the option to have the kickstart file remotely and using ks=http:... as boot param. However, this requires that there is DHCP available, so that the machine can get an IP address, gateway, etc assigned. Since I don't have a DHCP server, I was wondering if I can specify the required parameters manually. I would only need an IP address, maybe a netmask (if it can't guess 255.255.255.0 as default). I can live with specifying an IP as ks location rather than a domain, so I would not even need to specify a name server. Is this possible? Or can I somehow start off with an "askmethod" installation that lets me enter the network configuration there, but afterwards switch over to a kickstart based partition-configuration and package selection? Thanks, MARK
