Hello Philip, Sincere thanks for your inputs. I am aware of the interactive option but just missed to try it and will give it a shot... However the question is: why just the package selection screen is skipped despite no %packages section specified (as I have mentioned there is only %post section in my ks.cfg).. Anyway this option definately needs an attempt. Thanks. "linux ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg" is a valid syntax. "file" argument is used if ks.cfg is to be integrated with initrd.img which is what I have done while creating the first set.
