You should copy the boot.img file to the floppy, change the syslinux.cfg file and change the ks line like this default ks append ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img local That way it will boot using the ks.cfg file by default (no need to type anything at the boot prompt). Throw in your ks.cfg file, and make sure you have your install type as cdrom. If you run out of space, you can remove some of the .msg files. Let me know how it goes. Forrest
