Kickstart Install via HTTP

[RUSHE John (AXA-TECH-UK)]

Hi Rick,

The version is Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 3.0 ES and AS.

Do you remember which Linux versions are affected by this inability to
specify the port number on the kickstart url statement?

Cheers

John

I lost track of this...which version of RH is this again?

There was an issue with port numbers not being picked up correctly on
some versions, but I can't recall which ones they are.  If that's the
case, you'll need to use port 80.  Sorry about that.
