I have made a short script to read for static or dynamic ip, I am
playing with kickstart too for another project of mine :), I haven't
tested this in a kickstar file but I am confident it will work with
minor tweaks
you only have to disable any kickstart options about the network

Hello
I have just started to learn about qmailtoaster after having a
qmailrocks
based server for a few years.
The QMT-iso caught my attention being a nice and easy install/config of
qmail.
But I still have some troubles getting it to work.
1. I have a static ip, and the instruction for this doesn´t work for me.
This is a problem as the installation just continues even if the
internet
isn´t there. I can manually add static support with setup.
2. I get some problems with openssl, but I can do yum install openssl
and
this is fixed.
3. My worst problem so far is that the MYSQLD doesn´t run at all after
installation.
A service mysqld status gives mysqld dead but subsys locked.
I am not a mysql guru but something tells me that the password is wrong
for this.
I am not able to figure out where the config for this lies.
When the script cnt40-svcs is run I therefore get a lot of errors
depending of that mysqld isn´t running.
The Kickstart application does not allow for setting an IP address
during installation. I've been searching for a while now trying to
find a way to do this. Kickstart either allows DHCP, or setting of a
static IP in the file. Nothing else. My setting a static in the
kickstart won't do anyone any good since your IP will undoubtably be
different. I'm trying some hacks to work around this as we speak. I'm
hoping to have it resolved in the 1.1 release.

The Mysql password is "v2gnu-qmailtoaster" unless you changed it.
