If you don't put the "ks" in the config file it will start an interactive install ..... as in: prompt 0 timeout 10 display rh72_boot.msg default linux label linux kernel rh72_vmlinuz append initrd=rh72_initrd.img network You'll need to enter the location of your NFS mount and answer all the other questions. I use this sometimes in the lab .... but RARELY ..... -->Rob -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of James Dickson Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 1:57 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: PXE net install question Well.... I guess that is true. However when I setup my pxe environment I had to define a location for my ks.cfg (usually the same nfs share as my RedHat binaries) in my /tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default file.It would then mount and read my ks.cfg for the install parameters. Which included the NFS share of my RedHat binaries. You can create a ks.cfg file to do the interactive setup from the keyboard and monitor.
