The actual problem was that I copied the file from a windows machine and probably linux messed up with the file format. I did a dos2unix on the file and was able to get past the errors below.

I have create a RHEL4ASU4 32bit source server and configured dhcp/nfs/kickstart on it. I am also using the initrd.img and vmlinuz from the first CD to pxe boot the destination machines. I use the pxelinux concept of kickstarting. Here is my default file LABEL pxe MENU LABEL pxe kernel vmlinuz-pxe append ksdevice=eth0 console=tty0 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd-pxe.img network ks=nfs:192.168.203.180:/kickstart/rhelas4u4/i386/kickstart.cfg As you see, I am passing the kickstart parameters via additional boot loader parameters. /kickstart/rhelas4u4/i386 contains the entire distribution of RHEL4ASU4 Now am using a kickstart configuration file (client's file) wherein he calls many post install and pre install scripts. I get the following error :- IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory : '/tmp/xxxxxx' This directory is mentioned in the %pre script to be created. But looks like it is unable to. Before that I get bunch of File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstary.py" , line numbers messages but no errors on that. Would appreciate your help and direction regards this Thanks - Abhijit Das </BODY> </HTML>
