Hi Mad,
We use NFS for the install path. In our case we do the following:
1. Edit the Distro and change the Kickstart metadata.
a. I replace the entire string with this: ksdistro=distro_name
2. In the profile add another Kicstart Metadata
a. loccode=locx
3. Create a snippet that sets the server name and directory path and then specifies
the nfs line
4. Include that snippet in the kickstart template.
Here is a sample of the snippet:
#set $loccode = $getVar('loccode', 'loc1')
#if $loccode == 'loc1'
#set $server = 'loc1_server'
#set $path = '/loc1_path'
#else if $loccode == 'loc2'
#set $server = 'loc2_server'
#set $path = '/loc2_path'
#else if $loccode == 'loc3'
#set $server = 'loc3_server'
#set $path = '/loc3_path'
#end if
# Network install
nfs --server $server --dir $path/$ksdistro

There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who
claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.

Thank you both. I used a combination to make my already available

New subject: $getVar usage in snippet
Hello all!
I have the following code in a snippet that has been working through
numerous releases and just noticed today via getks that that variable
expansion is not happening.
Code:
#set $ver = $getVar('arch', None)
echo "nrpe $ver setup.."
#if $ver == "x86_64"
echo "nrpe ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/">>
/etc/sudoers
#else
echo "nrpe ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/">> /etc/sudoers
#end if
When I do a getks or via the generated ks via web I see the code above and not the
expanded variables. I would expect to see
either
echo "nrpe ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/">>
/etc/sudoers
or
echo "nrpe ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/">> /etc/sudoers
based on $var
I do not get any errors when running getks etc.

Do you have "#raw" anywhere in any of your snippets? If so, are you
ending the raw section via "#end raw" and NOT "#endraw"?
