I just checked and the comps.xml file was different than the one from
CD1
So I copied the CD1/comps.xml file into the base directory, but I still
get the same message. 

That got me thinking, and I saw that the hdlist, hdlist2, and TRANS.TBL
files were also different than the copies on CD1, so I copied them over
to my install directory as well.

It seemed to do the trick as it's now installing over the network. Now

Throw together a better ks.cfg file.

I guess the thing to do is copy CD1/RedHat over last when you're setting
Up the server.

Thanks for your help!
