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/Installation_Guide/ch-kickstart2.html): "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... JD
