The isos have been copied to an ftp server. So I had the following lines in my ks.cfg
intall url ftp://10.1.1.1// (yes the ftp server's directory is the Centos directory)
It might help if you posted your actual ks.cfg file (or at least the first 10 lines or so). The two lines you posted both have typos in them.
Here you are. I had a little bit of fun actually getting the ks.cfg on this system to include it into this email....

BTW, any reason you chose ftp over http or NFS?
Well I am in a 'bootstrap' situation.
I have the isos on a Win2000 server that I have 3Com's little ftp/tftp app. I don't YET have an HTTP or NFS Linux system to use for running installs off from.
If I can get this new system set up, well it is scheduled to be my NT domain controller, NFS server, and internal HTTP server. But the yum update stalled and I gave up fighting deleting dups, but now I can't remember how to turn a anaconda-ks.cfg into a floppy ks.cfg. I did it back in March when I had 4 identical servers to set up.....
(and I never entered my steps into my freemind docs).
