This is where things are very confused. I am trying to setup my system to get the ks file from the floppy but that doesn't seem to be working. I had saved an e-mail that you sent a while back about setting this kind of thing up, but I have done some part of it wrong and can't figure out what. here is the command line I am using: ks ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img local It says it can't find the /tmp/ks.cfg file, however, if I put the REAL CD in the drive it still goes into the RedHat install...even though it isn't silient. When I use my CD this doesn't happen, I get the error. The ks.cfg is stored on the floppy /ks.cfg I am using boot.img (after modifying it using your document) I burned the CD using a samba share to a Windows machine (my only access to a CD writer) Easy-CD creator Joliet extensions. Thanks for the response. Mike Michael Barsalou barjunk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
