Chris, I believe you are pointing to the wrong directory on your server therefore the packages are not being installed off your server. The directory structure on the RedHat 7.1 CD's looks like this: redhat-7.1/RedHat/RPMS You need to keep that same structure on your NFS server when you copy all data off the CD's. You need to point to that redhat-7.1 directory in your config file. Here is an example line from my ks.cfg file: nfs --server 10.2.1.3 --dir /redhat.disks/redhat-7.1 Hope that makes sense!

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.
