Kickstart will use the ones in the record, at least the ip address, subnet, and gateway of the first interface as stored in Cobbler. (Cobbler can store info on more than one). It does not store any nameserver info, so you will want to see that /etc/cobbler/settings has server as an ip address in that case, or you can add "nameserver" to the kernel options line manually, your choice. An easy way to do this is add it to the default kernel options in /etc/cobbler/settings. --Michael > James > > ********************************************************************************* > Important Note > This email (including any attachments) contains information which is > confidential and may be subject to legal privilege.
