This is a copy of my syslinux.cfg in which I don't have to type anything, and my ks.cfg follows that. Obviously the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx would be an IP, but I don't think our info security people would like me to post that information, even with a firewall. :) default ks prompt 1 timeout 10 display boot.msg F1 boot.msg F2 general.msg F3 expert.msg F4 param.msg F5 rescue.msg label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=7168 vga=788 label text kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=7168 label expert kernel vmlinuz append expert initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=7168 label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=7168 label nofb kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount nofb ramdisk_size=7168 label lowres kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= lowres devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=7168 ks.cfg: lang en_US langsupport en_US keyboard us mouse msintellips/2 timezone --utc America/Boise rootpw --iscrypted $1$7XÝÿ3Nîe$cER1a8pbhvG1dYpjlMW93/ reboot text bootloader --useLilo install nfs --server kick-pin.micron.com --dir /kickstart network --bootproto static --ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx auth --useshadow --enablemd5 firewall --disabled clearpart --linux part /boot --fstype ext2 --size=51 part /usr --fstype ext2 --size=3072 part /var --fstype ext2 --size=3048 part /opt --fstype ext2 --size=2048 part / --fstype ext2 --size=1024 part swap --size=2048 part /tmp --fstype ext2 --size=2048 #Do not configure the X Window System skipx %packages @Printing Support @Network Support @NFS File Server @Anonymous FTP Server @Network Managed Workstation @Emacs @Utilities @Legacy Application Support @Software Development @Kernel Development libcap ntp %post /bin/mkdir /mnt/tmp /bin/mount -o nolock xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/export/local-lnx/install /mnt/tmp /bin/rpm -i /mnt/tmp/nis-utils-1.4.1-0.i386.rpm /bin/rpm -i /mnt/tmp/pam_unix2-1.7-0.i386.rpm /bin/rpm -Uvh --force /mnt/tmp/e1000-3.1.23-1.src.rpm /bin/mkdir /root/download /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/system-auth /etc/pam.d/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/login /etc/pam.d/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/ssh_config /etc/ssh/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/sshd_config /etc/ssh/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/sendmail.cf /etc/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/nsswitch.conf /etc/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/resolv.conf /etc/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/syslog.conf /etc/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/nisplus /etc/init.d/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/ntp.conf /etc/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/defaultdomain /etc/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/motd /etc/. /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/securetty /etc/. echo "NISDOMAIN=micron.com" >> /etc/sysconfig/network /bin/rm -rf /dev/cosole /bin/rm -rf /dev/tty0 /bin/mknod -m 622 /dev/console c 5 1 /bin/mknod -m 622 /dev/tty0 c 4 0 /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/lilo.conf /etc/. /sbin/lilo /bin/cp /mnt/tmp/inittab /etc/. /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 ntpd on /bin/ln -s /etc/init.d/nisplus /etc/rc2.d/S99nisplus /bin/ln -s /etc/init.d/nisplus /etc/rc3.d/S99nisplus /bin/ln -s /etc/init.d/nisplus /etc/rc4.d/S99nisplus -----Original Message----- From: Chad M.

Though I was still prompted to select this from a list. Anyone know how to make the installer automatically load the right module?
