NFS is fine to utilize, and some do for the Anaconda source as well. It is likely faster overall. HTTP is typically done as well, and "curl" is included with the Anaconda image. HTTP doesn't require a mount, which has some advantages over NFS. If something is not in RPM, as Hugh mentioned, you can script and install it. Most 3rd party software have the option to take an answer file as a parameter, and an interactive install session is typically not an option. Some others can be broken down into RPMs so they can be in a YUM repository or pushed to a Spacewalk/RHN server. -- Bryan J Smith Senior Consultant Red Hat, Inc Professional Consulting http://www.redhat.com/consulting mailto:[email protected] +1 (407) 489-7013 (Mobile) mailto:[email protected] (Blackberry / Red Hat External) ---------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat: That 'other' American software company built on open customer selection of options and value, instead of controlled distribution channels of forced bundle and lock _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
