I have built a custom CD and ks.cfg file to do an automated install and setup. It's a fairly stripped-down package set with the Core and Base groups and a few additional individual rpm's. The only odd thing is that when it's done and returns to the "Complete, press <ENTER> to reboot" screen, pressing <ENTER> does nothing. I have to <CTL>+<ALT>+<DEL> to reboot. I'm hoping that someone has seen this behavior before (and figured out what caused it!) Below are the isolinux.cfg file and ks.cfg files. Thanks in advance!
