I'd always tend to just expose the install image via HTTP. jh Hello John, thanks for the reply. I found a useful tutorial on kickstart/http here: http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/kickstart-linux-automation,2-798.html but if I understand it right, via http is not an unattended install. You have to have a boot medium. If I'm correct people do unattended installs all the time, so I don't understand why all the tutorials I try fail on the same point. I must be doing something wrong. What I did on my last try was: Download Centos dvd to /tmp mount -o loop /path/to/centos-dvd.iso /mnt rsync -azvp /mnt/* /var/ftp/pub/ But subsequently I can't change anything in /var/ftp/pub because of read-only file system.
