Perhaps a similar definition should be made for Fedora, such that the network install can search for local install servers via Zeroconf.It's come up from time to time and there are even a couple of partial implementations. The key is to work on it and really get it integrated into yum; we're not going to invent something that's used only for anaconda Jeremy
Right now, Anaconda sets vendor-class-identifier when it asks for an IP address. All it needs to do is use the filename that DHCP can return.
vendor-class-identifier is for vendors such as Red Hat and the Fedora Project. It has no implications for any other use. Here are needed snippets in dhcpd.conf:
class "anaconda"
{
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0,
8) = "anaconda"
;
option vendor-class-identifier "anaconda";
}
pool {
allow members of "anaconda";
deny members of "pxeclients";
default-lease-time 900;
filename "http://Fedora.demo.lan/5/i386/os/Fedora/";;
max-lease-time 1800;
range 192.168.9.170 192.168.9.179;
option log-servers 192.168.9.4;
}
It shouldn't be more than a few lines of code.
