Hello everybody, I am going nuts trying to start a kickstart installation through http. Setup: Server is running RHL 8 with TUX 2.2.9-1 kickstart script is generated by a perl CGI script called kickstart.cgi Client is RHL 9 Installation CD No. 1 (or Fedora Core 1, same problem) At the boot prompt, I type linux ks=http://kickstartserver/kickstart.cgi Anaconda gives me following output: * doing kickstart ... setting it up * ks location: http://kickstartserver/kickstart.cgi * transferring: http://kickstartserver//./kickstart.cgi to a fd * failed to retrieve http://kickstartserver///kickstart.cgi A view at /var/log/tux on the server shows: blah,blah "GET /./kickstart.cgi HTTP/1.0" 404 0 "-" "" Where do all those extra slashes and dots come from? When I call http://kickstartserver/kickstart.cgi from a browser, I get a wonderful kickstart text file. Why can anaconda not retrieve it? -- Stefan Christians
