I have verified the integrity of the downloaded ISOs using shasum.  I 
burned CD-Rs for each ISO.  I can boot from CD #1 but after formatting 
the partition and numerous files into the install it says one file on 
the CD is corrupt and I have to reboot.   I copied all the files from 
the four CD images to a /home/me/Fedora directory on my RH 9.0 machine.  
I modified /etc/exports for the new IP address, restarted NFS and 
verified it was exported by issuing exportfs which displayed the name 
from my DNS table.  I reboot from the CD this time entering
linux ks=nfs
at the boot prompt.  It asks me for the IP address of ETH0, default 
gateway, netmask etc.  After I've entered all of that information it 
errors out with
--kickstart: missing argument

I've run Ethereal on the server exporting the volume for the kickstart 
install and it shows the new machine connecting.

I've also tried using ftp and http but those error out similarly.

Can someone shed more light on building a server using NFS, FTP or HTTP?
