I didnt have this problem before and cannot figure out why my boot menu is not working in FC2. I build it the following way mkdir /mnt/boot cd $dir/custom/i386/images mount -o loop -t msdos diskboot.img /mnt/boot Edit syslinux.cfg 1. change default linux to default ks 2. change timeout 600 to timeout 60 (optional) 3. change display boot.msg to display custom.msg 4. change F7 snake.msg to F7 custom.msg 5. change the label for ks to read: append text ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg initrd.img .... Next I create the custom.msg file 1. vi custom.msg 2. Create your custom.msg file (note that the ^ is ctl and the ^O is actually a ctl,v,o combination) ^L ^O02Welcome to the ^O09Custom^O02 Installation^O0f This is a custom installation of FC2 Linux. You can either press Enter at the boot prompt, or you can just let it timeout. ^O02[F1-Main] [F2-Options] [F3-General]^O0f ^O02[F4-Kernel] [F5-Rescue] [F7-Custom]^O0f unmount /mnt/boot Then i create and burn the image to cd. When I try to install on the test system though, the custom screen does not appear and the kickstart file I created is not read. I tried doing this again to see if maybe I just fat-fingered the process but got the same result. any ideas? thanks, Greg King
