For me works only if I extract the files from the iso image and access using NFS. The FTP works fine if I use inside the kickstart.

Hello,
Thanks for many good tips. I tried both ftp and http, both ftp.funet.fi and mirror.clarkson.edu, and always I end up soon after the above dialog screen (in Mathew's message) with the following error:
+---------------+ Error +----------------+

Strange, because I can download that image both with wget (from a http mirror) and with ftp (from a ftp mirror). Should I try downloading the whole i386 directory, and publish it locally with Apache, or something like that?
