From: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation Guide 28.9. Making the Installation Tree Available The kickstart installation must access an installation tree. An installation tree is a copy of the binary Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs with the same directory structure. So: # cd /path/to/vm/os/install_tree # cp -pr /media/CentOS_5.2_Final ./ Thereafter the Install Media URL becomes: /path/to/vm/os/install_tree/CentOS_5.2_Final -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
