Kickstart Fedora Core 2 via NFS???

["Ron Cresswell" <Ron.Cresswell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

 

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I have a Beowulf cluster which I want to upgrade to FC2 to take advantage of the latest kernel and also because it contains compatible drivers for the lm-sensors package allowing me to monitor the health of my nodes.

 

It's not a big cluster, but with one set of CD's it will take me about 32hrs straight to do the install one machine at a time. I previously installed RH9 using kickstart via NFS and want to upgrade to FC2 the same way.

 

The kickstart info (/usr/share/doc/system-config-kickstart-2.5.11/index.html) implies that I make a network boot floppy onto which I put the ks.cfg file once created. Problem is, there is no bootnet.img included in the distribution, and I can't see how to go about getting it to work without one.

 

Any pointers would be very gratefully received!!

 

Cheers

Ron
