I got this part correct (on the kickstart config file that is.)
The error message that I posted is the error message that anaconda prints
just before halting the installation. I found the python code that
prints this and attached below. Please notice the
method[0:5] == "nfs:/"
line and the error I'm getting
unknown install method: nfs://mnt/source/.
install exited abnormally
....
the first five characters of "nfs://mnt/source/" is "nfs:/" and in the
anaconda code this is supposed to be a valid syntax...
Anyhow here is the source code. If someone can either 1. help me or
2. tell me that they got kickstart over NFS working just fine, it'll
be great.
Thanks
