All, Playing with Tao 1.0 for the first time. Adapted my old kickstart procedures for Tao, created the boot disk with dd if=./bootdisk.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k, etc. This image file is advertised to work "for all installation types", but I do not get what I expect when I respond to boot: ... with linux ks ... as in: boot: linux ks <cr> which should request a fully dhcp driven installation in which my server supplies the IP address, the location of the kickstart file, etc., and just runs. Instead I am dropped into the installation procedure and prompted for language type, type of install (NFS, FTP, HTTP, etc.), etc. which I do not want. I do not see a bootnet.img file around which is what I have used in the past for these types of DHCP driven installations of RedHat. Is this bootdisk.img file capable of a network install of the type described? I appears that the DHCP server is responding because with the correct addresses because when I return to the panel asking for network (BACK button) information in has been filled in ... Any suggestions ... this must be something trivial.
