Hi all, I've for a Fedora 28 kickstart file booting from a PXE server. I can't seem to work out the magic incantation to format it though. Here's the PXE invocation (note 'inst.gpt'); ==== kernel fedora28/vmlinuz append initrd=fedora28/initrd.img root=live:http://10.1.4.1/fedora28/x86_64/os/images/install.img
