Hi all,

I am attempting to install Red Hat Linux using the Kickstart method of
installation, but have come up against several  issues:

1. Installation proceeds without problems on Red Hat 6.1 if you leave the
'lang en' line out of the ks.cfg file. If this is kept in, then the
installation routine terminates.

2. There is no way of setting a hostname in the ks.cfg file. Is there a
way round this, so that the hostname is already set when the system
reboots?

3. I use DHCP to assign IP addresses for the machines during installation,
but wish to keep the IP address that the DHCP server assigns to them as
the static IP address after installation.

4. Attempts to use the kickstart method of installation under Red Hat 6.2
cause the Anaconda installer to quit due to --kickstart being an unknown
option. The Red Hat 6.2 Errata does not mention this being an issue. I
have tried the kickstart method with both the shipping (i.e. off CD) and
also the latest boot disk images.

Any help would be much appreciated with these issues. A copy of my ks.cfg
is at the end of this.

Thanks in advance,

Neil Sherin
