I don't think you've given us enough detail to work with but for the fun of it I'm going to use my imagination to fill in the details. <create ks.cfg> cp ks.cfg / <insert RHEL CD 1> mount /mnt/cdrom/ cp /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/vmlinuz /boot/ cp /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/initrd.img /boot/ Add this to GRUB. title load root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz initrd /boot/initrd.img ks=hd:hda2/ks.cfg lang= text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=16384 reboot #I assumed root was /dev/hda2 and that it was formated as ext3. Set GRUB to boot from load by default. What is your install media btw? I haven't tested this at all and if you have a typo anywhere or in your kickstart then you're screwed. It is simpler to save the ks.cfg to a floppy and have someone on site to make sure the install goes Ok. regards, dan carpenter
