I would like to know if someone has published some patch or found a
solution to perform a automatic installation via sysinstall but with a
remote (ftp/http/nfs) install.cfg file? I found some solutions using a
PXE boot disk and mount via NFS but don't want to put NFS shares and
DHCP "specific" server to do only that task.
You don't need to setup nfs, install.cfg can be fetched with ftp. You
can setup a PXEBoot jumpstart server that runs only tftp and dhcp, then
in the install.cfg define a remote ftp server and the release you want.
check this www.daemonsecurity.com/pub/pxeboot/
Alternatively, you can create a custom "boot-only" type iso which
fetches the install.cfg, but in all cases, if you don't want to redo a
lot of your work every time a new release comes out, you need to install
using ftp.
