Hi Paul, Unfortunately I do not see any error messages other than "I could not find a Red Hat Linux Advanced Server CDROM in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Redhat CD and press "OK" to retry." Is there a way to turn on some verbose? I did not personally create the original Redhat DVD so I do not know how it was done. I assumed it was done correctly because it appears to work fine. I will try to generate my own DVD and then modify it. What I can't understand is why I am able to mount the DVD drive everything and Anaconda cannot do it automatically. I looked at the Anaconda source code and can't find the script/program that actually does. Can you point me in the right direction?

It'd be helpful if you gave exact error messages. There are DVD generation scripts for RHEL/Fedora here: ftp://people.redhat.com/ckloiber Paul
