My guess is that you're booting from a boot.img floppy, rather than a bootnet.img. If you want to install from NFS, create a bootnet.img floppy. If you want to install from CDROM, but can't boot from it, create a boot.img boot floppy and change the "nfs..." line in your ks.cfg. > > My ks.cfg looks like this: > > lang en_US > > network --bootproto dhcp > > nfs --server redhat62 --dir /home/linux > > keyboard us > > part swap --onpart sda1 > part / --onpart sda5 > > install > > mouse --kickstart msintellips/2 > > timezone US/Pacific > > rootpw password > > auth --useshadow --enablemd5 > > lilo --location mbr > > %packages > @X Windows System > ... > > > Does anyone have any ideas about what is going wrong?
