I'd always tend to just expose the install image via HTTP.

Hello John,
thanks for the reply.
I found a useful tutorial on kickstart/http here:
http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/kickstart-linux-automation,2-798.html
but if I understand it right, via http is not an unattended install. You have to have a boot medium.
If I'm correct people do unattended installs all the time, so I don't understand why all the tutorials I try fail on the same point.
I must be doing something wrong.
What I did on my last try was:
Download Centos dvd to /tmp
mount -o loop /path/to/centos-dvd.iso /mnt
rsync -azvp /mnt/* /var/ftp/pub/
But subsequently I can't change anything in /var/ftp/pub because of read-only file system.
Greetings, J.
