FW: Newbie to kickstart - question about loading linux from dvd

[John Brussard]

I want to install ES4U2 from a kickstart DVD, I have loaded the all the
RPMS's onto the dvd as well as the ks.cfg file and changed the isolinux.cfg
file.  

 

My problem is when it looks for the redhat installations disks, it says:

 

"CD NOT FOUND

Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives"

 

Here's my ks.cfg file:

 

root at ncs-ard1 backup]# more ks.cfg
