Thanks guys, but neither of these seems to be where the addresses

fix it, more like tar scp, rm :P


Yeah, most of your /etc/resolv.conf files were setup with the image we use to install you (I want to get away from using images and make you all use the install kernel/initrd for your preferred distro... but that hasn't happened yet.)


This may be $DISTRO specific, but if you gave me a way of loading up the installer kernel + initrd and then allowed me to specify a kickstart URL to actually run the install, that would satisfy all of my needs (and desires when it comes to installation, actually!).

Perhaps just maintain all of the common network installers and provide the option to boot them up from the rescue console, but also provide the option to edit the command line for those kernels as well? That way you don't have to worry about an image for debian or fedora or etc, all you need is a few hundred megs per distro and those who want to perform custom / automated installs still can. Maybe for the people who "just want a working distro" provide an option to use a kickstart (or similar) file that would install the system using defaults without end user intervention.
