Hello,<br><br>I'm trying to install Fedora Core 5 using a boot cd (boot.iso) and a kickstart<br>floppy stored in a floppy drive (ks.cfg). I can do a manual nfs install, but I'd like<br>to learn to implement kickstart.<br><br>
I've done some browsing but found no references to my particular problem.<br><br>This is what I've done so far:<br><br>[1] created a boot cd with boot.iso.<br><br>[2] created a ks.cfg with kickstart configurator and edited the disk partition section.
<br><br>[3] issued this command to boot using ks.cfg from floppy:<br> linux ks=floppy:/ks.cfg<br> <br> The boot proceeds normally, but the install halts with the following error:<br> "The following error was found while parsing your kickstart configuration"
<br> The following problem occurred in line 31 of the kickstart file:<br> mount point required for partition"<br><br> line 31 refers to the line "part /boot --fstype ext3 size=200"<br><br>
After having read quite a bit about the subject, I cannot see where the problem might be.<br>Any ideas what's wrong?<br>Your help will be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.<br><br>This is my ks.cfg:<br>==========================================================
