Kickstart Fedora Core 2 via NFS???

[Ron Cresswell]

Hi folks,
 
I'm hoping someone can help me here. I have a Beowulf cluster which I
want to upgrade to FC2 to take advantage of the latest kernel and also
because it contains compatible drivers for the lm-sensors package
allowing me to monitor the health of my nodes.
 
It's not a big cluster, but with one set of CD's it will take me about
32hrs straight to do the install one machine at a time. I previously
installed RH9 using kickstart via NFS and want to upgrade to FC2 the
same way.
 
The kickstart info
(/usr/share/doc/system-config-kickstart-2.5.11/index.html) implies that
I make a network boot floppy onto which I put the ks.cfg file once
created. Problem is, there is no bootnet.img included in the
distribution, and I can't see how to go about getting it to work without
one.
 
Any pointers would be very gratefully received!!
 

Cheers

Ron
