| (*) Automatic install
\----------------------

This feature is used to replace redhat kickstart. I use the kernel
parameter "automatic" with the following keywords:

from list:
        method          nfs, ftp, http, cdrom, disk
        network         static, dhcp

giving (string) values:
        ip
        dns
        gateway
        hostname
        domai
        server
        directory


Keywords must be passed with commas and colons, that is for example:

        
automatic=method:nfs,network:static,ip:192.168.1.24,server:192.168.1.7,directory:/stable/i586

-=-=--


Just added the network interface to the automatic features. I did not call
it "device" but "interface", though.

SMP kernel for install is useless..
