RE: Funny Kickstart Issue

["Charles Howse" <chowse charter net>]

Hello Robert,
Thanks for the reply.
I'll try that.  I agree that subtle differences in syntax can
"Monkeywrench" things.

The equal signs are straight from the Official RedHat 8.0 Customization
Guide, p. 47:

The static method requires that you enter all the required networking
information in the
kickstart file. As the name implies, this information is static and will
be used during and
after the installation. The line for static networking is more complex,
as you must include
all network configuration information on one line. You must specify the
IP address, netmask,
gateway, and nameserver. For example: (the \ indicates that it is all
one line):
network --bootproto=static --ip=10.0.2.15 --netmask=255.255.255.0 \
--gateway=10.0.2.254 --nameserver=10.0.2.1

May be your syntax, try this:

Mine -> network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 192.168.254.2
--netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.254.254 --nameserver
24.159.64.20,24.159.64.21 --hostname moe
Your -> network --bootproto=static --ip=192.168.254.2
--netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.254.254
--nameserver=24.159.64.20
--hostname=curly

Note the subtle differences.  Get rid of the equal signs and try it
again.
I use KS everyday and have no problems with my network installs.

R.

Hello List, 
I've done a lot of kickstart installs, but I'm having a problem with
this
one. (RH 8.0) 
After the install, my network is not configured correctly, I have to run
setup and configure it manually for it to work.
Here's the relevant portion of ks.cfg, I've tried the network line with
--device=eth0, no joy. 
The network line my wrap in your mail client, it is not wrapped in
ks.cfg.

Any ideas?
