Re: kickstart install using url location

[Carlos Santana <neubyr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know how to start ks installation.

Initially I was booting from a CD drive and then typed in 'linux
ks=http://<ip>/<file.ks>'.

But how do I get to boot prompt now? Lets say my DVD iso is located on
some remote machine. We point to this DVD in kickstart file. But, we
are not booting from it.

How do I get this boot prompt to start installation? Sorry for any confusion.
