Dubious. anaconda will install the kernel-smp package if it sees multiple CPUs, or as I recently learned, even if it sees one CPU but multiple slots. >I then inserted the cdrom with the kickstart file and rebooted. How did you add the kickstart file; by rebuilding the ISO? Which commands? Which kickstart file? >At the boot prompt, the instructions were to type "expert >linux ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg" (without the "", of course). I don't think "expert" is needed unless extra driver disks are required. >Everything goes ok, answer "no" to driver disks, country "us" If you're asked about country (specifically keyboard layout), then the kickstart file has not been found. >The documents inside this electronic transmission contain confidential >information belonging to the sender that is legally privileged.
