O.k. people I got past the name resolution problem by having the DHCP server send the IP address of the name server as the primary and secondary name servers (which effectively doubles the timeout period of the reverse lookup). Now I'm having a problem where after the installation of the packages, kickstart fails to detect a mouse, and stops to ask me. I don't have a mouse and told it to do a "mouse --kickstart none" in the ks.cfg file, but it still stops to ask. After this, it asks me about a bunch of other options that I also put in the ks.cfg file. What gives? Anyone have any clues? Here's my ks.cfg: ******************************************************* lang en network --bootproto dhcp nfs --server kickstart.lancity.com --dir /usr/redhat device ethernet tulip device ethernet 3c509 keyboard us zerombr yes clearpart --all part / --size 100 part /tmp --size 100 part /home --size 100 part /usr --size 600 part /var --size 200 part swap --size 64 part /opt --size 1024 --grow install mouse --kickstart none timezone US/Eastern skipx yes rootpw --iscrypted XXXXXXXXXXXXX auth --nisdomain docd-east --useshadow lilo --location mbr %packages setup filesystem basesystem ldconfig glibc ******************************** * [ lots of packages snipped ] * ******************************** zip zlib zlib-devel XFree86-SVGA %post ******************************************************* Derek D.
