For a while I messed around with squeezing the local.cfg file onto the floppy by removing what appeared to be un-needed files (there's some text file you can loose, but I can't remember the name). This worked but was a pain. We then switched to the cd based version, modified our dhcp server so that it has all our mac addresses and assigns them a static ip, and this works fine. I understand you can have a floppy with just the local.cfg file, boot off the standard cd and the script will find the local.cfg file on the floppy and use the values from it, but I have't tried this. I saw something posted a day or two ago that the next release may have better local.cfg support for cd installs.
I have also seen problems with rsync on getimage and installs, its intermittant and "seems" to be related to the size of the image or the --exclude option in getimage, I posted it but I have not followed up in house, too many other projects right now.
Anyway good luck!

Hi All,
I am still having problems with the mkautoinstalldiskette script.
The script failed to write to a 1.44 FDD
I then changed the mkautoinstalldiskette script to format the disk to 1.68 with the –config switch set.
The process completes with the local.cfg file in place.
When I boot the system it fails to find the local.cfg file.
At this point I turn on my DHCP server and the cloning process starts, but fails to complete, this appears to be due to an rsync problem.
I am using version 3.2.2 on an OS of RH9.
Can any one help solve this problem?
