Yep, processes will run for as long as they need to. Provided the machine has an IP address, should work. I don't use up2date though, but in theory, should be no problem. And, while debugging the ks - put it on a floppy and insert it after the machine has booted. I went through a large number of cdroms before I figured that one out :) Smooth sailing ever since aside from installer modifications which are always painful. -brad > > That didn't come out like I wanted it to...sorry for the jumbled mess, > it should have been: > > > this is what I have in there now, I've yet to test it (have to set up an > FTP > or http server still) ....
