You can use --driverdisk in a kickstart file, or dd= at the boot: prompt. This isn't a new option though, it's been there quite a while. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ryan C.

I was looking over the kickstart documentation again and it looks like it has been updated with 4.0 release 3. I am going to attempt using what looks like a new option called --driverdisk (with Dan's driver disk). Looks like I can specify a driver disk via ftp, http and nfs. I will let you all know how it goes. Thank you, Ryan On Apr 14, 2006, at 1:02 AM, Dan Carpenter wrote: > On 4/13/06, Ryan C.
