Kickstart problem

[Ahmed Sharif]

Ezra Taylor,

Check the file permission of ks.cfg. Most probably you have already
did that, but it came to my mind first. You should also run the
"ksvalidator" command each time you modify the kickstart file. The
syntax is,

#ksvalidator <kickstart-file-name>

Please inform us about your result.

Thanks and Regards,

Ahmed Sharif
