Unfortunately I can not answer your question but only nudge you in the right direction: The November kickstart-list is full of useful things to do in the %pre section, with some very wicked code examples e.g. for determining memory of the target system. Something similar must be possible for video card detection/determination. In principal, in the %pre section you will have to find out whether or not the target system has a memory card and, depending on the result, generate a text file which does or does not have the 'skipx' entry. That text file must then simply be included by the commands section. -- Stefan Christians
