Correct, they aren't automatically added to the kernel options line -- perhaps they should be. The only detail that gets passed to the VM is the MAC address, which IF you are using Cobbler for DHCP/DNS management, other details like IP and hostname will then be also applied automagically. If you aren't they are not applied there, but they /are/ available as template variables in the kickstart file being used. Koan does additionally provide a "--kopts" that can be used to add additional parameters to the booting kernel options line. > James > > ********************************************************************************* > Important Note > This email (including any attachments) contains information which is > confidential and may be subject to legal privilege.
