Here's a template that uses NFS to serve the SLES9 install tree, VNC to do the graphics, and assumes a qeth interface at addresses 600-602 (I used a NIC to a VSWITCH). Hopefully the variable names are self-explanatory: ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram1 ro init=/linuxrc TERM=dumb INST_PASSWORD=xxxxxx IP_ADDR=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn AUTOINSTALL=yes IP_HOST=xxxxxx.xxx.xxx IP_GATEWAY=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn IP_INTERFACE=qeth IP_MTU=1500 IP_NETMASK=255.255.255.0 IP_BROADCAST=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn READ_DEVNO=600 WRITE_DEVNO=601 DATA_DEVNO=602 PORTNAME=dontcare IP_DNS=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn INST_INFO=nfs INST_IP_ADDR=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn INST_IP_DIR=/nfs/sles9root INST_SCREEN=VNC VNC_PASSWORD=xxxxxx Here's an example for more hints: ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram1 ro init=/linuxrc TERM=dumb INST_PASSWORD=<lnx4vm> IP_ADDR=<129.40.178.40> AUTOINSTALL=yes IP_HOST=<lat40.pbm.ihost.com> IP_GATEWAY=<129.40.178.254> IP_INTERFACE=qeth IP_MTU=1500 IP_NETMASK=<255.255.255.0> IP_BROADCAST=<129.40.178.255> READ_DEVNO=600 WRITE_DEVNO=601 DATA_DEVNO=602 PORTNAME=dontcare IP_DNS=<129.40.106.1> INST_INFO=nfs INST_IP_ADDR=<129.40.178.39> INST_IP_DIR=/nfs/sles9root INST_SCREEN=VNC VNC_PASSWORD=<lnx4vm> Hope this helps.
