Simple script to modify kickstart file

Hi,

I would like to create a script so that it will ask me the following:

1) What is the ip address?
2) What is the gateway address?
3) What is the hostname?

and then put the answer to the below kickstart file (kickstart.cfg)



Here I included the kickstart.cfg:

# Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda.

install
nfs --server=10.10.10.200 --dir=/vault/redhat/rhel5/5.1/x86_64
key --skip
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
xconfig --startxonboot
network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 10.10.10.20 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 10.10.10.1 --nameserver
10.10.10.100--hostname abc
network --device eth1 --onboot no --bootproto dhcp --hostname abc
rootpw --iscrypted $1$r3I9vk75$JWCGlXqgYd0/55lfg09NJ.
firewall --disabled
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5

bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda --append="rhgb quiet"

NAME
xen-create-nfs - Create a Xen configuration file for an NFS-root guest. SYNOPSIS
xen-create-nfs [options] Help Options: --help Show help information. --manual Read the manual for this script. --version Show the version information and exit. --verbose Show diagnostic output. Networking Options: --broadcast The broadcast address to use when configured with a static IP. --dhcp Configure the guest to use DHCP for IP allocation. --gateway The gateway address to use when configured with a static IP. --hostname The hostname to configure for the guest. --ip The IP address to use when configured with a static IP. --netmask The netmask to use when configured with a static IP. --nameserver The nameserver to use when configured with a static IP.

--help Show help information. --hostname Specify the hostname to delete. --manual Read the manual for this script. --version Show the version number and exit. DESCRIPTION
xen-create-nfs is a simple script which allows you to easily create a single configuration file for a Xen guest which will mount its remote filesystem over an NFS root. It doesn't create any images to use for local storage, and it doesn't support more than the minimal number of options to completement the existing xen-create-image script, however it is hopefully useful. REFERENCE
