Three questions, First, I finally got kickstart to work, but when I try using the --onpart option under part, I get: Exception Occurred Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 341, in ? extraModules=extraModules) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 332, in __inst__ self.setClass(instClass) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 882, in setClass todo.addMount(dev, mntpoint, fstype, reformat) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 395, in addMount self.mounts[location] = (device, fsystem, reformat) Attribute Error: mounts Using: zerombr yes clearpart --all part / --size 500 --grow part swap --size 127 works fine. I then reboot, get info from df and /etc/fstab: / mounted on sda1 swap mounted on sda5 I try kickstart using: part / --onpart sda1 part swap --onpart sda5 I made sure that I took off the zerombr and clearpart --all. I reboot, and still get this error. VC3 is exactly the same on both installs. Any help? Second, I tried rootpw --iscrypted BlahBlah! (copying and pasting from my /etc/shadow file). It then sets the password in /etc/passwd, and leaves /etc/shadow blank. When I login as root, it doesn't ask for any password (because the shadow file is blank where the passowrd should be). If I cut and paste from passwd to shadow, it works fine. Are there any fixes for this? Third, I would like to use the same type of boot screen that RH 7.0 uses (graphical). I tried to copy the message file from a RH 7.0 box to my RH 6.2 box, inserted the message= in lilo.conf, ran lilo -v, and I get a small diamond next to the text login. If it is possible to get this to work, I would like to put it somewhere in the NFS install. Anyone knwo where it is located/loaded in the distro? TIA, Forrest
