<div style=""> So, if you mean the machine you are trying to kickstart is headless and you are booting it from a cd/dvd and trying to use a kickstart file on some server somwhere, then yes...I think so...<br>
<br>
Boot the node from the cd/dvd and keep pressing the esc key to keep it from going past the menu.....<br>
When you think you are there, type in the boot command... should be something like this...<br>
<br>
linux vnc ks=http://myserver/ks.cfg <ENTER><br>
<br>
if you are careful, it should just work.<br>
<br>
Is there some reason you can't stick a monitor on it?<br>
