Prasanna,
check this url:
http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2004/11/04/advanced_kickstart.html.
It describes step-by-step how to create a bootable cd, with ks.cfg. I
have tried it on FC3 and FC4, and it was ok. I have also tried to place
my ks.cfg on ftp site(so, as to be able to change the ks.cfg easily,
without re-writing the cd, every time I need to change sth). So i end-up
having a bootable cd, that reads its ks.cfg from ftp site, and also gets
the rpms, from the same ftp server.

I am trying to create a customized minimal linux CD by placing ks.cfg
in the isolinux directory of my CD.
This way, I am not making use of the dosutils directory.
However, during the boot process, it fails to find the kickstart file
on my CD and the installation halts.
On my other tty, I see the message "Searching for file on path
/tmp/mnt//ks.cfg".
Has anyone encountered the above issue before? Any help/pointers would
be greatly appreciated. I am trying
create the CD using RHEL 4.0 (base version with no updates) for x86_64.
I am making use of the below mentioned URL to create my customized
minimal Linux CD.

Please find the extract of my isolinux.cfg file in the isolinux
directory below:
-bash-2.05b$ cat isolinux.cfg
default myks
prompt 1
timeout 0
display snake.msg
label myks
kernel vmlinuz
append ks=cdrom initrd=initrd.img text ramdisk_size=8192
thanks
Prasanna
