Well it's not so much USB in Linux as it is Anaconda installing from a USB drive.
With an IDE/SCSI drive, Anaconda mounts /mnt/cdrom. It has to be different with a USB drive, because I can't find my kickstart from /mnt/cdrom.
I think it's /media/usbdisk, so I've created a new kickstart and isolinux.cfg for them to try.
If anyone can confirm /media/usbdisk, it would be re-assuring.
Thanks!

I haven't much experience with USB in Linux, but if I recall correctly,
USB storage devices are mounted as psuedo-SCSI devices. So your device
names would be /dev/sdXX (/dev/sda{1}, /dev/sdb{3}, etc etc).
That will iether help you or hurt you. I only wish that it helps. haha.
Thanks!
