How many Redhat admins out there use the redhat kickstart?
If you don't use it, how do you install redhat on all your
workstations, do you do it by hand, with the cds?
As we are looking at using Linux at work, I'm looking
into setting up the kickstart. There doesn't seem to
be a lot of documentation around about it.
Does anybody know if it would be possible to do the following:
Get the machine to boot using DHCP and read it's kickstart
config file from teh DHCP server and in this config file
have the machine configured to use a static IP, so that when
the machine is rebooted it will come up with it's new IP.
Also, There was no driver on the redhat network install flopopy
for the network card in the machine I'm installing. This required
me to uncompress the floppy image, loop mount it, add in the module
for the network card and compress it all up again. I'm not going
to be able to do this every time we get a new machine, I was
wondering if instead of having a boot floppy, you could use a boot
cdrom, but just for the purpose of having all the network card
modules on the cdrom. I'd still want it to get the packages from
an NFS server on the network.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated,
cheers,
deccy.

I think I'm going to become one of _those_ people. You know, one of those
people who has a &#8220;Semantic Web&#8221; category on their weblog. This will
be a Geek Purity Test question someday. Onward:
- _Phil Ringnalda_: Fun with RDF[1]. &#8220;RDF can actually be fun, as long as
you don't foolishly invest too much ego in trying to store RSS 1.0, or wander
off into flame wars.&#8221; From which we find:
- _Shelley Powers_: The RDF Query-O-Matic[2], and The RDF Query-O-Matic
explained[3]. &#8220;The Query-o-Matic accepts the name of an RDF file (any
valid RDF file), and an RDFQL (RDF Query Language) query, and will print out a
test value found as a result of that query.&#8221;
- _Marcus Campbell_: &#8220;My FOAF autocreation script is moving along nicely
[4]. It's now looping through my OPML blogroll file, checking the first load of
bites in people's pages for head linked FOAF files, grabbing certain elements
from these files (if they have one) and spitting them out into a brand new FOAF
file for me.&#8221;
- _Joe Gregorio_: The Well-Formed Web[5]. &#8220;After spending some time
badgering poor Bill Kearney for a concrete benefit of having RDF in RSS 1.0 and
not getting a really satisfactory answer I went back and read Paul Ford's essay
again. I wanted to get that old religious feeling back again. It didn't work.
The magic was gone.&#8221;
