Sameer, I do the same as Brett, just stick the ks files in the root of the CD and call them with ks=cdrom:/xxx.cfg. In case you have an interest. I actually have multiple configs (modified boot.msg to present them). Here is my syslinux.cfg contents that deal with the various options one can enter at the syslinux boot screen on my custom CD. Even if you don't plan on multiple configs, perhaps this example will help you. This works very nicely, all the install-person needs to enter is a 2 or 3 character label to choose which kickstart file to use. This is RH 7.3. [boot]$ cat syslinux.cfg default text prompt 1 timeout 9000 display boot.msg F1 boot.msg F2 general.msg F3 param.msg F4 rescue.msg F7 snake.msg label qb kernel vmlinuz append ks=cdrom:/qb.cfg initrd=initrd.img lang= text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 label qr kernel vmlinuz append ks=cdrom:/qr.cfg initrd=initrd.img lang= text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 label qrd kernel vmlinuz append ks=cdrom:/qrd.cfg initrd=initrd.img lang= text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 label qm kernel vmlinuz append ks=cdrom:/qm.cfg initrd=initrd.img lang= text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 label qmd kernel vmlinuz append ks=cdrom:/qmd.cfg initrd=initrd.img lang= text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 I hope you find this useful (it took me a while to figure it out too).
