Deparate - KickStart USB DVD device mount name?

[Chris Mckenzie]

Well it's not so much USB in Linux as it is Anaconda installing from a USB
drive.

With an IDE/SCSI drive, Anaconda mounts /mnt/cdrom. It has to be different
with a USB drive, because I can't find my kickstart from /mnt/cdrom.

I think it's /media/usbdisk, so I've created a new kickstart and
isolinux.cfg for them to try.

If anyone can confirm /media/usbdisk, it would be re-assuring.

Thanks!

- Chris

I haven't much experience with USB in Linux, but if I recall correctly, 
USB storage devices are mounted as psuedo-SCSI devices.  So your device 
names would be /dev/sdXX (/dev/sda{1}, /dev/sdb{3}, etc etc).

That will iether help you or hurt you.  I only wish that it helps.  haha.

Thanks!
