HI all,
Am stuck at the post installation of the stateless kickstart. As per the
documentation available on the redhat site, the kickstart file should be picked
up and the the stateless client will pick up the snapshot. however it is not
happening so, after the minimal install machine reboots in to the same minimal
install.
am using the default install sript available with the distribution. am unable
to understand as how will the client be able to know about the ldap and what to
query on the new machine (installed using kickstart). or is it that after the
kicstart i have to rsync the machine form the stateless server and then expect
the bahaviour....
It would be great help if anyone can point to what i might be doing wrong.
Thanks in advance
Kamble Ashish

### Quick yum hack to install some packages that aren't in rawhide
### yet. This will go away when stateless tools is upstream

### Now launch the real bootstrap

### End quick hack
