I'm setting up a kickstart server with fedora core 2 right now. I have
tried serving the Fedora image from both HTTP and NFS. I have disabled
iptables/firewall so I don't think I'm having a problem there. I don't
really even know if my test machine is reading my ks.cfg file, because it
gives no indications that it has read it.
The fedora files are located in /FC1-install/Fedora
My HTTP root directory is / and the name of the server is kickstart
My NFS root directory is /FC1-install and the name of the server is ks
I was wondering if there was something wrong with my / convention (among all
the stupid mistakes i'm sure i'm making). When I get to setup on the client
machine and enter the ip address of my http server, it makes me enter a
directory, and if I write "/FC1-install/Fedora" for the directory, it says
"unable to retrieve http://xx.xx.xx.xx///FC1-install/Fedora/base/stage2.img"
Note the 3 forward slashes before FC1-install. If it weren't for those damn
slashes, that path would be correct. I'm not sure why this is happening
like this, perhaps something wrong with the way I write the directory or the
way the server is setup. Anyone have any ideas about how to make this work
with http or nfs? any tutorials on this sort of thing online that are
actually for fedora core 2? I find lots of tutorials on setting up the
server (but even then, not for fedora core 2), and yet none on actually
setting up the target machine. The ones that do stop instructions at typing
"linux ks=http://server/path/ks.cfg" any help would be appreciated. thanks
