Hi Jeremy

you should modify the syslinux.cfg file to include this option 

take a look at
http://www.linuxjournal.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=NS-lj-issues/issue108&file=6473l2

hope this helps

I followed the directions on this page http://256.com/gray/docs/rh_boot/ and they worked great.  It created a bootable iso image that found my ks file.  The only problem is that I wanted to do a network (http) install. However, the only options that I am given in CDROM or Hard Drive install.  How do I keep all the drivers in the cdboot.img and allow it to do a network install.
