Thanks for the info,
I tried to use the bootnet.img file copied to a diskette and I still got the same error message. The only difference is that after the error message, I get prompted for the type of install and if I choose nfs, it prompted me for the server and directory. After I put in the info, I got a message telling me that it couldn't mount the specified directory.
I tried to mount the directory on another RH box and it works fine.
also I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by:
edit the configuration (ks default, short pause)can you please be more specific ?
Pls advise

The NFS directory that I'm exporting is /home/farryp/setup. I copied the ks.cfg file in the directory. Then I put in the boot cd and at the boot prompt, I typed: boot: linux nfs=192.168.1.3:/home/farryp/setup/ks.cfg Then I got the error message Error opening: Kickstart file /tmp/ks.cfg: No such file or directory I tried the same thig with a boot diskette. No luck same error NFS and DHCP are tested and are running. Am I sending the right command to the kernel ? pls adviseYou must use the bootnet.img image copied to floppy. I generally copy the file, edit the configuration (ks default, short pause) and use the modified version. Getting the ks file from the server is a fine idea. _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
