Is it possible to do an NFS4 base install using kickstart. I can see
how to specify the other opts but will kickstart honor a fstype=nfs4
or similar switch?
    

Not at the moment -- nfs4 requires a fair bit of different code to get
the mount to work.  There's a feature request filed for it in bugzilla,
but it's fairly low priority.  It shouldn't be that hard, though, if
someone wanted to provide a patch.  Basically you'd just need to add
support for nfs4 to the mounting code in isys/imount.c

Jeremy,

I would be willing to have a go at producing such a patch, how would you want it specified in the kickstart file? Would you want the nfs line to include fstype=nfs[234] as a valid option or would you want nfs4 as a new keyword?

Howard.
