Sorry, I don't use windows so I can't really say. You could build an
ISO under Linux and transfer that to your windows machine, assuming
you have software that will burn a plain ISO file.
Try this:
make a directory (doesn't matter what you call it) and CD to it.
Create this little one-liner script; I called it "makeit":
-------
#!/bin/sh
mkisofs -v -v -o boot.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -V -T image
-------
Now mkdir -p image/isolinux; cd image/isolinux
Copy your vmlinuz and initrd.img files here; I called them "vml642"
and "ird642.img". isolinux severely resticts the naming you can
use, so don't get fancy or it won't work.
Create isolinux.cfg. You can copy in or create a boot image and
various messages; I don't know what the minimum you have to specify
is. But you will at least need a stanza for these images:
-------
label ks64-2
kernel vml642
append initrd=ird642.img devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216 ksdevice=link ks=http://url.to/kickstart.file
-------
cd ../..
run the "makeit" script, which will give you boot.iso. Burn that
however you can.
