ok, so i'm doing manual installations after booting via grub to the installer (copying vmlinuz and initrd.img from the isolinux dir), but i want to be able to specify the kickstart file i use, and i want it to be pulled via http. i've found a few sites that tell me what to do, but kickstart always says that it's an illegal syntax and walks me through the steps. anyone know of a good kickstart ref? redhat's for 9 has nothing, and all the kickstart sites i've googled to are outdated and don't reference http ks config files. -d +( duncan brown : duncanbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx )+ +( linux works for me : www.linuxadvocate.net )+ -------------------------------------------------- Understatement of the century: "Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones" - Linus Torvalds, August 1991 --------------------------------------------------
