a couple kickstart-related questions about messing with the syslinux.cfg file. first, here's the syslinux.cfg file out of the "boot.img" file: default linux prompt 1 timeout 600 display boot.msg F1 boot.msg F2 general.msg F3 param.msg F4 rescue.msg F7 snake.msg label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 vga=788 label text kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 label expert kernel vmlinuz append expert initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 label nofb kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount nofb ramdisk_size=8192 label lowres kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= lowres devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 as a beginning, the wording in the syslinux.doc file seems misleading. that file describes the configuration line DEFAULT kernel options... as i understand it, the word after "default" is not a kernel, it's simply a label that should match one of the labelled stanzas further down the file, correct? second point: if, at the boot prompt, i type a label followed by one or more options, i'm assuming that those options are *added* to the append options already listed for that label, yes? so if i type boot: linux ks=floppy i get the stanza labelled by "linux" with all of the corresponding append options, *as well as* my "ks=floppy" option, right? now say i wanted to create a custom boot floppy that automatically did a floppy-based kickstart install. i can see a couple of different ways to do this: 1) just change the default line to read default linux ks=floppy 2) add a new stanza with a label like, say "ks", that had the ks=floppy option appended to the list of options, and have the default line default ks leaving the original linux stanza where it was. will either of these work? is one recommended over the other? rday
