Thankyou for your help folks, Everything seems to be working well at my desktop. It was 100% non interactive.. pop in floppy, power up and wait. I tried transfering everything to my test lab and the kickstart fails/crashes right after it says "checking package dependancies" in X. The only difference is that I changed the final static ip addresses in the ks file and I am now getting my redhat software from over the network using a router. Previously it was all on the same segment. ANy ideas? Obviously it is getting the ks.cfg file.. its just blowing up before loading anything.
