finalizing my kickstart setup

Hi,

I am trying to do a kickstart install and i guess I am half-way through. i just can't finalize it.  Here is my scenario.

I have one webserver with Fedora 4 on its document root  (/var/www/html/linux/fedora4). The same server acting also as DHCP/TFTP server.  And 1 client to install to. I also have my ks.cfg  in  /var/www/html/ks.cfg      ( the webserver is working fine as i have  test index.html file working)

1.)  The DHCP/TFTP server is working.  I can boot my client and its getting the ip address and it starts the initial fedora setup BUT it stops in the Language Selection. It's not reading my kickstart file.  

so i tried this 2nd way:

2.)  I boot the client using  a boot disc (1st install cd)   and in the menu prompt,  i typed:

     linux ks=http://192.168.1.100/ks.cfg
 
     it read my ks.cfg and i was able to install Fedora without touching a key after that. So i guess my kickstart file is working.  

Now I want to PXEboot my client,  read my kickstart file and  continue to install via HTTP.  What am i missing?  


this is my "dhcp.conf"
------------------------------
host hp-old {
  hardware ethernet 00:16:36:EF:D7:95;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.54;
  next-server 192.168.1.222;
  filename "pxelinux.0";
}


this is my  "/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default"
-----------------------------------------------------------
prompt 1
default linux
timeout 50

label linux
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 noapic acpi=off


   
Thanks in advance.
Sir june
