Jerry,

To use kickstart off usb, we just use
linux ks=hd:sde1:/ourkickstart.cfg
(Of course, the "e" will change depending on your drives, on our 10-drive
systems it is 
linux ks=hd:sdk1:/ourkickstart.cfg)

And it works great.  We have NOT yet had any success with putting the CD#1
ISO or the DVD on USB, but we would love to do so, so if anybody knows how,
it would be great to see it here.

Thanks,
Mark

Are there instructions on how to take the actual ISO install image (not 
a live image),
put that iso file on a USB thumbdrive  and install from that instead of DVD?

I would be interested in putting a kickstart file on the USB also. so 
just plug in a USB
and everything installs just the way I want/need.

Thanks,

Jerry
