Hi, I'm experiencing a strange RHEL v4 specific issue. For some reason, Kickstart is taking a very long time to start installing packages. I'm installing from an nfs server and the ks file is located on the nfs server. Anaconda quickly gets a DHCP request and goes through everything at a reasonable rate until it reaches the screen where it is about to install software (after it has completed the formatting). It then "hangs" for about 5-10 minutes before continuing. Even when installing software, I feel that it is quite slow. I had the exact same setup on RHEL v3 and it was about twice as fast. Furthermore, on RHEL v3, there was no delay in any part of the installation. I checked that traffic on the network and there was basically no traffic except for the installation (I had only a single machine installing). After taking some time to install the packages, the installation is successful. However, I was wondering why it takes so long to start installing the packages. Any ideas? Thanks for your time. PS. I attached the kickstart file if anyone's interested. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
