[rhelv6-list] anaconda times out when downloading kickstart file.

Hi

Is there anyway to stop anaconda going to the manual install
screen when kickstarting or at least increase the timeout?

I'm trying to remotely kickstart hosts on a slow network.  Sometimes
the pxe boot times out but that's no problem - I can just try again.
Dhcp was timing out but I fixed that by passing a large dhcptimeout
value to anaconda.

However it's then (mostly) timing out when downloading the kickstart
file which means a long trip to push the restart button.  After a few
retries it succeeds but it would be a lot easier if I could get rid
of the timeouts.


Thanks
