[00:01] netcfg/wireless_wep= hmm... I wonder why that is there ;) [00:01] oh yeah.. hostname... [00:01] hostname= [00:02] this line in dhcp config: [00:02] https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/etc/dhcp/dhcpd-hostname.conf [00:02] option host-name=concat("dhcp", binary-to-ascii(10, 8, "-", suffix(leased-address,1) ) ) ; [00:03] that just makes up a "random" hostname that I can type [00:03] like dhcp123 [00:04] or you can get the node's mac and set things up here: [00:04] https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/etc/dhcp/dhcpd-macs.conf [00:04] host cw1b{ hardware ethernet 00:90:27:1C:C4:AC ; option host-name "cw1b" ; fixed-address 192.168.1.177 ; [00:05] the dhcp server will send hostname=cw1b and the debian installer will use it so I don't have to type it in. [00:06] the rest of it is about the same as the preseed install you were already doing [00:06] or trying to do :) [00:08] CarlFK: Alll right, it doesn't sound too intimidating I guess :) I'll try it out tomorrow and maybe I can hit you up if I run into somehting? [00:08] sure [00:08] I am here most of the time [00:09] Cool, thanks :) [00:11] I use my local one a few times a month. I put all that stuff on git about 2 years ago? and tested it enough that I could deploy it.. and then deployed it in like 2011, and again in 2012. [00:12] and a few weeks ago I organized my repo and moved the dir down a level. should just work, right? [00:13] whatever. I think it is a good starting point. and hopefully doesn't burn up too much time === lool- is now known as lool === psivaa_ is now known as psivaa
