We have been trying to find out if there is a way to pull the kickstart config file down through authenticated FTP. Running something like "linux text ks=ftp://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/kickstart.cfg......."; on the bootloader prompt doesn't work. Is there a way to pull that file down with FTP using a username / password? Anonymous FTP is not an option.
You don't say which version of Redhat/Fedora this is, but there's certainly FTP username/password support in the current version of anaconda. See ftp.c and urls.c in the source for the gory details.
