modifying initrd for kickstarting RH9

2003-08-26 Thread Paul Armor
Hi, sorry if this has been covered, or I'm posting to the wrong list (if so, could you point me in the right direction?). We use Red Hat on a cluster, and I'm currently trying to modify how we've done things with 7.3 to work with 9; but I'm stuck and am not sure how best to proceed. We use a
