Hi,


 Generate a ks.cfg file either using from previous working machine or just
run system-config-kickstart, then have your installation image exported on
nfs server as well you're new ks.cfg file, from you're would be kickstart
client you can boot and issue:

ks=nfsserver:/export/ks.cfg

HTH,

joseph
