To be honest I am not sure if it is the ks.cfg file or not. I followed your instructions, improvised a bit and asked questions in this forum (BTW quite the caliber of people here and always fast answers). To make it easier in the beginning and to get an understanding I copied your custom.msg file and your additions to the ks.cfg file. When the CD now starts I get the custom.msg however no colours and about 10 or so errors about files 'Missing parameter in config file' and 'Unknown keyword in config file'. Before the F-menu items it shows me the ^O02 and at the end ^O0f. I think these must be the colour switches but somehow they are not activated. I compared it to the regular RedHat .msg file but the only difference I see is the font of the ^O looks different (like uppercase). When I copy it over however it changes the font to whatever the file is created in. Any ideas? When I press enter it boots the kernel and starts anaconda gives me a info message (that I would like to automatically bypass) and waits for input to select a mouse.
