Fetching install.cfg from a remote machine
EHLO I would like to know if someone has published some patch or found a solution to perform a automatic installation via sysinstall but with a remote (ftp/http/nfs) install.cfg file? I found some solutions using a PXE boot disk and mount via NFS but don't want to put NFS shares and DHCP specific server to do only that task. Do the rebuild of the ISO image itself with the install.cfg on the CD is also an alternate option but we will have to rebuild the ISO, re-burn images every time we change an option - Use a new release and so on...

You don't need to setup nfs, install.cfg can be fetched with ftp. You can setup a PXEBoot jumpstart server that runs only tftp and dhcp, then in the install.cfg define a remote ftp server and the release you want. check this www.daemonsecurity.com/pub/pxeboot/ Alternatively, you can create a custom boot-only type iso which fetches the install.cfg, but in all cases, if you don't want to redo a lot of your work every time a new release comes out, you need to install using ftp.
