I know how to start ks installation. Initially I was booting from a CD drive and then typed in 'linux ks=http:///'. 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.
Normaly (never tried http install), it should be like: grub> linux ks=http://.../ks.cfg [ method=http://.../ ] And, in ks.cfg: url --url http://.../
From the doc (http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Installatio...):
"If you are performing a network-based (NFS, FTP, or HTTP) installation, you must make the installation tree available" "An installation tree is a copy of the binary Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs with the same directory structure." Which would mean no ISO files...
