They are doubled in the Kickstart file. The problem was not syntax. The problem was that Kickstart stopped at that point and asked where the iso files were. I didn't want to use iso files. I wanted to use a repository. (Because at that time, I had a repository, but not iso files.) > > See /usr/share/doc/anaconda-*/kickstart-docs.txt This looks like the same documentation as the System Administration Guide. It says: --dir= Directory containing the RedHat directory of the installation tree. This to me looks like it is referring to a repository rather than a directory of iso files. Any suggestions?
