Thanks for the reply. I can connect a console but I am just curious. It is intuitive that if a system can boot from and start on its own from the hard disk or from a live cd then there would be some option to place directives on a network install boot cd-rom that would tell the system how to connect to the network and where to find the install files, and to find the kickstart file on said boot cd
If this is not possible, at least it would be nice if I could somehow remotely enter commands after the machine boots from the cd, like via telnet, putty, or VNC I guess my goal is simply to somehow install without a keyboard or monitor connected to the machine using only one cd-rom and Internet access via dhcp. It seems like there may be options in isolinux.cfg for this?? Peter _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kovacs, Corey J.

Boot the node from the cd/dvd and keep pressing the esc key to keep it from going past the menu..... When you think you are there, type in the boot command... should be something like this... linux vnc ks=http://myserver/ks.cfg <ENTER> if you are careful, it should just work. Is there some reason you can't stick a monitor on it? -C _____ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Peter Allen [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 1:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: boot cd-rom network install on system with no display using vnc Does anyone know how to do this?
