Kickstart on CD

[Maria Tsiolakki]

Prasanna,

check this url: 
http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2004/11/04/advanced_kickstart.html. 

It  describes step-by-step how to create a bootable cd, with ks.cfg. I 
have tried it on FC3 and FC4, and it was ok. I have also tried to place 
my ks.cfg on ftp site(so, as to be able to change the ks.cfg easily, 
without re-writing the cd, every time I need to change sth). So i end-up 
having a bootable cd, that reads its ks.cfg from ftp site, and also gets 
the rpms, from the same ftp server.
