Re-typing the file in linux was the solution! Thanks James! Thanks to Chris Rouch for the reply, also. I've just completed a ks install with a LONG, LONG list of %post commands, and only 1 failed because of a typo! :-( I worked around the #1 issue by just mounting the /redhat directory in the ks file and umounting it when done. NOW... Could we work on something else? I'd like to learn how to do a NFS kickstart install. I have my main server as an NFS server, exporting the /redhat directory. Problem is, I have a 3c509 nic in the machine to be installed, and I need to load a driver disk at install. Per RedHat, I have created the netdrv.img (or whatever it's called) floppy and copied the files to the root of /usr, and included the correct line in ks.cfg. I have as well loaded eth module for the 3c509. The file below was created by doing a manual NFS install, and inserting the driver disk when prompted. I added lines 2, 3, 4, and edited the partitioning, packages, and %post. The issue here is that the ks install crashes out to the vanilla text install. I'm using the bootnet.img, and linux ks=floppy at the prompt. # Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda. install driverdisk hda2 --type ext3 device eth 3c509 --opts "io=0x220, irq=5" nfs --server 192.168.0.1 --dir /redhat lang en_US langsupport --default en_US.iso885915 en_US.iso885915 keyboard us mouse generic3ps/2 --device psaux skipx network --device eth0 [snip] rootpw [snip] firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 timezone America/Chicago bootloader # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work # clearpart --all --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=50 --onpart=hda1 part /usr --fstype ext3 --size=1400 --grow --onpart=hda2 --noformat part /home --fstype ext3 --size=512 --grow --onpart=hda3 part / --fstype ext3 --size=384 --onpart=hda5 part /var --fstype ext3 --size=256 --onpart=hda6 part swap --size=96 --grow --maxsize=192 --onpart=hda %packages @ Network Support @ Messaging and Web Tools @ Server %post /usr/sbin/useradd charles chfn -f 'Charles Howse' charles
