I'm using SIsuite to add identical systems to a network. The problem is, I have to manually add info into dhcp.conf for each computer. I know that when I run systemimager, it has an option of using a floppy disk with a copy of local.cfg on it to set up the system, but does anyone know where the location of local.cfg goes on the server if Im using PXE to boot?

Another way of creating your boot diskette is this:

Create a file /var/lib/systemimager/my_golden_client.local.cfg on your image server. /var/lib/systemimager/my_golden_client.local.cfg should be filled with the same contents as local.cfg above. Then run

mkautoinstalldiskette -config /var/lib/systemimager/my_golden_client.local.cfg

This will create your boot diskette with your local.cfg included!

It had a couple of other methods as well outlined.
