Hi, I am probably missing something very obvious. But I cannot see how I initiate the kickstart install from the fc9 media (neither the Fedora-9-i386-disc1.iso nor the Fedora-9-i386-netinst.iso). I have performed the following successfully .... 1. downloaded and extracted the full fc9 DVD.iso to a local "kickstart server" 2. downloaded and created CD's from the images .... * Fedora-9-i386-disc1.iso * Fedora-9-i386-netinst.iso 3. successfully performed a network install from the extracted fc9 media (via http) * booted from Fedora-9-i386-netinst.iso * via menu's, pointed installation process at the fc9 media on my "kickstart server" * entered data for configuration and package selection manually * ended up with a fully functional server! 4. copied the kickstart file created during the manual install * placed it in the media directory (i.e. ./fc9/i386/os/) as ks.cfg * using a browser from another machine confirmed ks.cfg is readable via http Now I want to initiate my kickstart installation to "repeat" the install I have performed interactively on other machines. Bit I cannot work out how using the fc9 media I can access the boot: command line. The OLDER Fedora install media had a selection menu at boot time that enabled you to select the command line and simply enter "boot: linux ks=http://192.168.3.204/fcx/ks.cfg". The fc9 kickstart documentation still advises to enter a boot command at the boot prompt. "linux ks=..." etc. But the fc9 media that I have just runs straight past the point where you can enter a command at the boot prompt. I can see this stage of the install process "flashing by" on the display but it does not pause for me to make a selection. I assume this is because there are now separate .iso images / CD's for the network install and the "CD install". Any suggestions gratefully received. Cheers, Richard |
