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.... # Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda. install url --url ftp://192.168.128.4//. lang en_US.UTF-8 langsupport --default=en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us xconfig --card "ATI Mach64" --videoram 4096 --hsync 30-70 --vsync 50-120 --resolution 800x600 --depth 16 --startxonboot --defaultdesktop gnome network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 192.168.128.5 --netmask 255.255.255.248 --gateway 192.168.128.1 --nameserver 192.168.128.1 --hostname homebase.htt-consult.com rootpw --iscrypted <hash removed for obvious reasons> firewall --disabled selinux --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 timezone America/Detroit bootloader --location=mbr --append="rhgb quiet" # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work #clearpart --linux #part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --asprimary #part pv.33 --size=38075 #part swap --size=1024 #volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.33 #logvol /home --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=25728 #logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=12288 %packages @ office @ mysql @ admin-tools @ editors @ system-tools @ legacy-network-server @ dns-server @ gnome-desktop @ dialup @ ftp-server @ network-server @ smb-server @ base-x @ graphics @ web-server @ printing @ mail-server @ server-cfg @ sound-and-video system-config-samba system-config-httpd -vim-enhanced mod_auth_mysql -rwho e2fsprogs mailman mysql-server -HelixPlayer grub -rhythmbox -openoffice.org-libs system-config-printer krb5-server -dia system-config-boot tftp-server -openoffice.org-i18n -planner openldap-servers lvm2 -rusers hpoj -cdparanoia amanda-server freeradius php-mysql -openoffice.org gnome-nettool net-snmp-utils nmap-frontend nedit amanda-client tsclient -dovecot vnc-server dhcp -sound-juicer kernel ethereal-gnome system-config-kickstart system-config-printer-gui mod_authz_ldap -gnome-pilot %post > 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).
