Hello, I'm new to kickstart, so i apologize if this is an obvious question. I'm trying to do a kickstart install via nfs. I have a config file on the dhcp server, which is being accessed when i boot from the redhat cd and use 'linux ks'. The config file (see below) specifies the nfs server, and the directory. This directory is mounted correctly (according to showmount on the sever). But the packages are installed from the CD rather than from the server. Can anyone tell me what I've got wrong? A supplementary question - If I want to install the dhcp server, can I boot it from floppy and specify a different nfs server, or will nfs installs only work if they can get their network info via dhcp? If these questions are covered in a FAQ somewhere, please point me at it. Thanks, Chris Rouch ------ ks.cfg (package list and password removed) # Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda. install lang en_US langsupport --default en_US en_US keyboard us mouse generic3ps/2 --device psaux xconfig --card "ATI Rage Mobility" --videoram 8192 --hsync 31.5-60.0 --vsync 58.0-78.75 --resolution 1152x864 --depth 32 nfs --server 192.168.6.7 --dir /usr/src/redhat/enigma network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp rootpw --iscrypted <deleted> firewall --medium --dhcp --port ntp:tcp --port ntp:tcp --port ssh:tcp --trust eth0 authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 timezone Atlantic/Bermuda bootloader part / --fstype ext3 --size 1 --onpart hda6 part swap --size 1 --onpart hda7 %packages <list deleted> %post
