Grab the vmlinuz and initrd.img from images/pxeboot, put them in /boot, and put an entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf that looks something like this: title reinstall root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz ks=hd:hda1:/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ip=$IPADDRESS dns=$DNS_SERVER initrd /boot/initrd.img Then, put a kickstart file in /, make that entry the default, and reboot the system. Wait a bit, and then ssh into the freshly installed system. Without physical access, obviously, test your ks.cfg file well. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
