Hello Martin, Hello all, I've already tried to see this kickstart file in my browser but when i copy/past : http://serversw.com/ks/cfg/org/1/mode/10.xx.xx.20 10.xx.xx.50,
I see an error : it doesn't displayed the kicsktart file perhaps it is about the ip-range itself (notation ?) You mean that i have to alter the Spacewalk server grub ? Thanks one more.
