This is what I thought but in fact the client pulls imagename.master and *not* clientname.sh hence my original question.
Either this is a bug or a specification change. I actually did break the link and it made no difference due to the above.
Adding IMAGENAME to the local.cfg would get round it but it still begs the question what use are the .sh files?
Anyone got a definitive answer?
Thanks for you replies Graham

This is based on the assumption that most auto-installed clients will be
the same -- it allows you to make modifications in the master
autoinstall script and have it take affect for all the clients with soft
links pointing to it. If you need a customized script for an individual client, you can break
the link, and make that client's hostname.sh script different.

Thanks for this anser.
On follow on question. Why does the system create <machinename>.sh links to the master. What is that for?

If you specify "IMAGENAME" in the local.cfg, then it will use "IMAGENAME.master" as it's autoinstall script.

I tried the archives but didn't see anything relevant.
Basically I have a hand crafted script and using local.cfg to define IP address, etc. But when it gets to loading the script it attempts to pull <IMAGENAME>.master rather than the <HOSTNAME>.sh which I expected.
What is the correct way to solve this?
Thanks Graham
