The website I found it on had left the slashes out and and also had colons between server name and path - kind of like the location syntax scp uses as well. Anyway - guess they were wrong... This way it works: ip=192.168.1.17:::::eth0 ks=http://192.168.1.29/download/ks/lvd2.ks.cfg It still asks me for the network configuration though, is there a way to make it pick it up from the "ip=..." parameter? After entering the network parameters, it starts reading the kickstart file from the server - I can see the requests in the access log. Then I get the error message "Unable to retrieve http://192.168.1.29//fedora/base/Fedora/base/stage2.img." However, there no entries in access-log neither in error-log that show that the machine actually tried reading the file. When I enter the URL into my workstation's browser I can download the file without problems... I don't know where the double slash between server name and path comes from, but even with that I can still download it in the browser. Any idea what is wrong now? Thanks, MARK
