I anticipated this working the same way that it does with jumpstart at the moment - namely being able to edit the client's menu.lst file to add the install boot argument. (That's how I make x86 jumpstart completely hands-off.) Even better would be to have both the install and non-install entries in the grub menu all the time, and have a way on the server to set which one was the default. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
