Yes. I already have my kickstart working perfectly over the network. But I've been asked to develop a bootable DVD for environments where there is no network, where currently field guys spend hours manually installing the OS and customizing it. And no, using a laptop as a repo isn't an answer... they'd find a way to mess that up. A DVD won't be as fast as it could be, but it will be pretty idiot-proof... pop it in, restart, watch for it to finish :-) -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
