This is going to sound like an incredibly stupid question, but I'm new at this, so please forgive me. I'm trying to set up a Kickstart configuration to install RedHat 7.1. I've read "The Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide" and the "RedHat Linux KickStart HOWTO", and I can't get past step 1. I've created a boot disk, using bootnet.img, and I've put a ks.cfg file on that disk. I've modified the syslinux.cfg file to boot with "ks=floppy" without prompting. My problem is that the installation seems to ignore portions of the ks.cfg file, asking the user for input. In particular, it always asks for: Language to use during the installation Keyboard type Type of media (NFS image / FTP / HTTP) TCP/IP info (IP address, netmask, default gateway, nameserver) NFS server and RedHat directory After getting this information, the installation proceeds without further intervention. Naturally, however, I would like the installation to get all this information from the ks.cfg file. It's in there, after all. The installation does use some information from the ks.cfg file, including the partition information, the package information, the firewall information, and a few other items. It just doesn't seem to take all of it. I have tried several modifications to the ks.cfg file, including deleting all the networking information, and trying to install from CDROM. This has had no positive effect. I am at my wits' end. Does anyone have any advice for me? -- Rick Here's my ks.cfg file: lang en_US keyboard us mouse generic3ps/2 timezone --utc US/Pacific rootpw --iscrypted VOLtWkVy23k/s nfs --server netapp-loaner-f720 --dir /vol/vol0/kickstart/OS/RedHat7.1 network --bootproto static --hostname kickstart --ip 192.168.2.79 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.2.254 --nameserver 192.168.2.19 install auth --useshadow --enablemd5 --enablenis --nisdomain neosilicon.com --nisserver 192.168.2.57 firewall --disabled zerombr yes clearpart --all part /boot --size 64 part swap --size 1024 part / --size 1000 --grow lilo --location mbr skipx %packages @Everything And, if you're interested, here's my syslinux.cfg file: default ks prompt 0 label ks kernel vmlinuz # append ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img lang=en_US devfs=nomount append ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img
