Daniel,

Could we pass the configuration file at nfs location instead of at webserver ?

Thanks,
Trilok

One option since your kickstart is already being hosted on a web server
is to simply make the kickstart file be a CGI script - and have a parameter
you pass to it to substitute in the IP address. eg,

-x "ks=http://172.16.10.101/ks.cfg?ip=172.16.10.150"

Or getting slightly more advanced, instead of passing in an IP address,
pass in a MAC address & then use that mac to lookup a whole bunch of
per-host custom parameters for your kickstar
