It tells the RHEL 6 installer where to get the more complete details for the installation (ie NFS server location and path, list of packages to install, etc). <a href="http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html" target="_blank">http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html</a> With the x2100, it sounds like this may work if you have access to a HTTP server. The description you gave of the x2100's behaviour sounds like the network is configuring ok, but the next bits are getting confused when it goes looking for things. </blockquote><div> i do interactive remote installs. at your prompting i tried ks=nfs:192.168.3.4:/kickstart/pecan.ks however i suspect my lack of luck with that on the m2 is for the same reason that the rhel6 anaconda fails to configure eth0 as in my post above. i'm less eager to fuss further with the x2100 as i have to get help to reboot it when it fails. the obvious place to put the ks file is on the local disk, but that doesn't work either. and i found user mention of that working in f10 but no longer in f11. sad. </div></div>
