try to do network install using kickstart file on nfs, but it doesn't work
server net 192.168.1.x/24
client net 192.168.2.x/24 (incl. DHCP)
nfs share 192.168.1.209:/install
fedora 18 files 192.168.1.209:/install/fedora18
kickstart 192.168.1.209:/install/fedora18/ks.cfg
1. took the kickstart file from a fresh installed fedora 18 64 bit and copied to nfs
- boot client with 64 bit fedora 18 netinstall and changed boot
initrd=initrd.img repo=nfs:192.168.1.209:/installserver/fedora18/ ks=nfs:192.168.1.209:/installserver/fedora18/ks.cfg

2. added "nfs --server=192.168.1.209 --dir=/install/fedora18" to ks.cfg
- boot client with 64 bit fedora 18 netinstall and changed boot
"initrd=initrd.img ks=nfs:192.168.1.209:/installserver/fedora18/ks.cfg"
3. changed boot command
initrd=initrd.img ip=dhcp ks=nfs:192.168.1.209:/installserver/fedora18/ks.cfg
4. change boot command
initrd=initrd.img ip=dhcp noipv6 ks=nfs:192.168.1.209:/installserver/fedora18/ks.cfg
5. change boot command to static ip config
initrd=initrd.img ip=192.168.2.34 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.2.1 ks=nfs:192.168.1.209:/installserver/fedora18/ks.cfg
seems ip will assigne wrong even when using dhcp or using static config -> it's not possible to ping the nfs server
only entires in the same net (192.168.2.x)
At the end i tried to use the a workaround and place the kickstart on the CD.
i copy the ks.cfg kickstart file to the CD top-level directory and into the isolinux/ directory.
change boot command
