Greetings,

I am trying to DHCP/NFS install Redhat 8 onto the 2nd node
of my cluster. I have gotten past the DHCP and NFS hurdles.
But anaconda has a Redhat acknowledged flaw that causes
--onprimary to be reported as an error. I have put the new
RPMS into the /apps1/redhat/RedHat/RPMS directory.
I exportfs :/apps1/redhat (have /kickstart link to this) and
I can start the install but it complains about unknown option.
How do I apply the new RPMS so that they get used when
the install kicks off via 'linux ks=nfs:192.168.1.1:/apps1/redhat/ks.cfg?

Thanx in advance,

J.C. Magras
