This is very useful for our (non-DHCP) environment - thanks! Will Kickstart then use the
network details specified in the system record or will we still have to manually add them
during the install?
Kickstart will use the ones in the record, at least the ip address,
subnet, and gateway of the first interface as stored in Cobbler.
(Cobbler can store info on more than one).
It does not store any nameserver info, so you will want to see that
/etc/cobbler/settings has server as an ip address in that case, or you
can add "nameserver" to the kernel options line manually, your
choice. An easy way to do this is add it to the default kernel
options in /etc/cobbler/settings.
