check out the following http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-begininstall-net.html These redhat manuals have a wealth of information in them and if you are iso instead of cds you can mount the iso for the copy using the loop option to mount mount path/to/isofile -o loop /mnt/cdrom instead of the mount /mnt/cdrom command used in the docs. > > 2) image=/boot/vmlinuz-ks > label=ks > read-only > initrd=/boot/newinitrd.img > append="ks=nfs:zenon:/install/redhat/7.1/7.1seawolf.allfiles/ks71.cfg" > I assume that the vmlinuz-ks and the newinitrd.img are from the > "installation tree" files... > > But in your append line, can you use FTP/HTTP instead of NFS... I suspect so. you can also check out : http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/part-install-info.html part of the customization guide. googling for kickstart and http should get a bunch of hits too. > > So many questions!!!! Do some reading and subscribe to the kickstart list. The archives at marc.theaimsgroup.com allow serching this and many other lists and I find this to be an invaluable source of information. This is not the best documented feature of the distro but it is certainly getting better.
