I don't know!  Thats a very good question!  Because I've never done it?

heh

Thanks I'll persue that avenue instead.  Thanks mate.

Can't you just re-master your ISO by sticking the local.cfg file there?

Most people actually use the network boot feature - is there any
particular reason you're not network booting your machines?

Cheers,

I mean no disrespect - thank you all for your suggestions and pointers...

Hi um, that sounds insane. Reconfigure your DHCP server or
add kernel
boot arguments. Or have an additional floppy. Theres no
way to put a
simple local.cfg text file in a location that the livecd
iso tool will
include when building the iso?

I mean Boot CD's are by far the most common medium to
address this kind
of issue. Nobodys run across this and found a real fix?
All three of
those suggestions sound like an akward hack (no offense) to
what should
be in my minds eye a simple and fundamental function of SI.
Do you not
agree?

When booting from the livecd it runs through its checks
fine and locates
the DHCP server and pulls an address like its suppose to
(DHCP is being
handled by my IPCOP router) but then (me looking at the
logs) it appears
the LiveCD assumes the DHCP server is also the image
server.  In the
instructions it recommends putting your image server on
the same box as
your dhcp server but it does not say its required to do
so.  The LiveCD
does a ping verification against the dhcp server, says
congrats you have
network connectivity to the image server and tries to
establish an rsync
connection and - psht, craps out (because its trying to
pull an image
from the router/dhcp server and not the image server).
DHCP is on .1 and the image server is on like .225 on a
/24 so nowhere
near each other.
If you can configure your dhcp server, simply add these options to
dhcpd.conf:

# Imageserver
option option-140 code 140 = text;
# option-140 is the IP address of your SystemImager image server
option option-140 "<IP_of_your_image_server>";

Otherwise you can override the ip of the image server adding
IMAGESERVER=<ip_of_you_image_server> to the kernel boot parameters,
usually changing the
/etc/systemimager/pxelinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg and run
si_mkautoinstallcd again...
