Kickstart installation

[Ryan Golhar]

Yes, here is my syslinux.cfg.
 
Its setup so I just have to press enter from the boot screen without
typing anything in.  I also modified my boot.msg to indicate this to the
user...
 
--being syslinux.cfg--
default linux
prompt 1
timeout 600
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 options.msg
F3 general.msg
F4 param.msg
F5 rescue.msg
F7 snake.msg
label linux
  kernel vmlinuz
  append ks=nfs:myserver.umdnj.edu:/products/ks-v12.cfg
initrd=initrd.img
label text
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img text
label expert
  kernel vmlinuz
  append expert initrd=initrd.img
label ks
  kernel vmlinuz
  append ks initrd=initrd.img 
label lowres
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img lowres
--end syslinux.cfg--
 
--begin boot.msg--

Dear Ryan

Thanks for the reply.
Can u specify the entries to be made in these files we
tried with the entry as follows:

syslinux.cfg

label ks-rhel3
vmlinux
linux ks=http://172.16.8.4/ks.cfg initrd=initrd 

But didn't work.

Please specify the sample entry.

Thanks
