Hi John,

I don't think so. I never used RHL 7.x but RHL 5.2, 6, 9 and Fedora up

You're right, I have a set of RHL 7.3 CDs right here.


to 4 (the most recent one I used before Fedora 9) all (by default) pause at a "boot:" prompt during the boot sequence from the standard media. At that boot: prompt you can directly enter:
   linux ks=http://ksserver.example.com/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0

The Fedora 9 install process goes straight passed the 'old' boot: prompt and doesn't pause until it gets to the "Welcome to Fedora 9" menu? There is an option to edit one of the menu options (by hitting TAB) but when you do so you are NOT dropped to the boot prompt and have to enter a subtly different command line.

That much was clear enough it didn't confuse me.


However, you CAN get back to the boot prompt on Fedora 9 from this menu. To do so, you simply hit ESCAPE (as stated in Jeroen's answer

I wasn't confused about that either:-) Didn't know it was possible.
