I have the reboot option in ks.cfg. I do not want to remove this option since then whats the point of having an automated install using kickstart when you have to come back to your machine after the entire install. I have also tested that you do not need the CD after the initial boot since my ks.cfg lives on nfs. I have tried multiple options like eject /dev/hdc eject eject /dev/cdrom but none of them work ? -- Ricky _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
