Hmm, come to think of it, I've never actually done an ftp install
with kickstart. But I'm sure that it can be done... check the docs
for kickstart, I'm sure that it would simply be a matter of
specifying the ftp:// URL in the ks.cfg file. (I don't have the doc
cdrom handy right now to check this for myself).
NFS is way, way better though... and almost trivial to set up on any
linux box. (Same with the dhcpd/bootp needed for a network
install).
(I found that customising install images -- apart from putting in
any updates and generating a new hdlist file with genhdlist -- was
too much effort to bother with, especially when it needs to be
done for each new redhat release. Kickstart is much easier to
hack and re-hack, and allows you to do the customisations in one
place, despite what's in the actual install image. But I guess if
you want to create a "slim" 1-cdrom rh7.0 install disk solution,
that's quite different).
Good luck.
Cheers
Tony
