yes, dont bother with all this stuff - just setup a network boot environment with something like cobbler ( http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/ ) and you are off. If you need cdrom support post-install, you can always use a %post stanza in your kickstart to get it into place. You will find its a lot easier to also import multiple distro's / versions's and share kickstarts, edit them - And remember, http installs are the fastest installs if you server is on the same lan. The _only_ time you ever need to really fiddle with the install media is when your network card drivers need tweaking :) - KB _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
