Ah, thank you both for your reply covering this rather obvious mistake I made. I corrected the problem and the install does now proceed. I'm curious -- why do I get a signal 11 and no indication on any of the VTs what the error is instead of a message saying that a valid installation could not be found? Also, to address the concerns about the use of redhat.com, I'll be setting up a local mirror of the CDs, I was just using redhat.com for testing.

The root of ftp.redhat.com looks nothing like an installable distribution. Somewhere under that is a directory that you could probably use, although the site is so bandwidth-limited that I wouldn't recommend it. If you really have to use some Internet site instead of a CD or some local distribution, send me private mail and I'll give you the URL of one of my install servers. - J< _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
