FW: Newbie to kickstart - question about loading linux from dvd

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 

I want to install ES4U2 from a kickstart DVD, I have loaded the all the RPMS’s onto the dvd as well as the ks.cfg file and changed the isolinux.cfg file. 

 

My problem is when it looks for the redhat installations disks, it says:

 

“CD NOT FOUND

Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives”

 

Here’s my ks.cfg file:

 

root@ncs-ard1 backup]# more ks.cfg
