[wplug] kickstart config redhat 8.0

[John Harrold]

| 
| host my_host_hostname {
|    option host-name "my_host_hostname.example.com";
|    hardware ethernet 0X:X0:7X:8X:XE:XX; 
|    fixed-address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;
| }
| 
| 	....but there's no substitute for knowing what you're doing when it
| comes to editing .conf files - you likely need to have better declarations
| in other sections as well.

indeed. i just didn't know where kickstart was getting the information. i
assumed it was getting it from the first line:  "host my_host_...". it made
sense at the time. 


so now i have another question about kickstart. i have this problem where i
generate cfg files that i suppose are invalid. the only way i know of to
test them is to copy them to a floppy and try to install redhat. if it
fails, the python script seems to die and spit a lot of stuff out to the
screen-sometimes informative/sometimes not. i've generated files using
redhat-config-kickstart that don't seem to work. i would have thought their
own program would be valid. so i was wondering if there was a kickstart
config validation tool out there somewhere?
