Re: [SLUG] KickStart Scripts

[Stephan Borg <wolff_borg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry to answer my own question, but for those of you
who would like to know:

The KickStart HOWTO, still points to the old website:
http://wwwcache.ja.net/dev/kickstart/KickStart-HOWTO.html

which says about the nfs keyword:
nfs --server xxx.com /my/nfs/export

Redhat have the latest doco:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/custom-guide/

and the nfs keyword has now changed to:
nfs --server xxx.com --dir /my/nfs/export

Rgds,

Stephan
