Thanks, an interesting article. Although not really what I am looking for.
The official RH docs talk about the installer retrieving the location of
the config file via the "filename" attribute supplied in the DHCP
request. As I have router that gives out all my DHCP leases I am unable
to use this method. I was really asking if there is a way to just
specify where the file is in a similar vain to ks=floppy (my machine is
an ITX box that doesn't have onboard FDD controller, so this is of no
use). It just seems strange to me that a network boot cd is provided by
you are unable to specify a config file.
Hope none of that sounds like a moan, as that isn't how it was intended.

Lee
