thanks for this - for me hostname is good to use as thats actually the
FQDN and from that i can work out the DC the box is in. At the moment i
have to worry about 6 DC's but this is likely to increase and i just
want common ks's and snippets between them. I take the first parameter
of the hostname to work out the box role and from that can work out what
packages to install, again all by using a common kickstart and snippet set.
i am getting to grips with this slowly but alas its not coming super
quick but getting there one bit at a time.
thanks
