Is it possible to use a path with this? It is possible. I update the isolinux.cfg file to append extra stanzas for each ks.cfg on the CD. Something like: label webserver kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ks=cdrom:/webserver.ks.cfg label database kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ks=cdrom:/database.ks.cfg At the boot prompt the user just types in 'database' or 'webserver' to get the correct config. they type nothing if they want an interactive install. -- ---- Robert Wehner rwehner@xxxxxxxxx
