Hi William, Yes the path is correct. Obviously there is still something wrong but not sure at this point. I was hoping someone from REDHAT would respond. I guess I will need to contact them directly in the morning>

We did at the beginning last year and had a lot of help from Red Hat support so I am thinking maybe we never did get this to work the way we are trying to do it now..

(and keep in mind the kickstart location can point to a CGI or any kind of dynamic URL rather than a static file -- as long as it spits out a kickstart file it works - you can do some pretty slick dynamic kicks this way) Scott On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 11:22 AM, Stewart Thomas J < stewartthom...@johndeere.com> wrote: > We put our kickstart on an HTTP server and not an FTP server, so we do > this: > > KS=http://abc.myserver.com/Public/kickstart/ks-linux123.cfg > RUNKS=1<http://abc.myserver.com/Public/kickstart/ks-linux123.cfg%0ARUNKS =1> > > Then in the actual kickstart we have this parm to point to the FTP install > files: > url --url ftp://123.456.789.123/s390x/AS4u6 > > Maybe you can do it all in one, but just wanted to pass that along. > > > __________________________________ > Tom Stewart > Infrastructure Analyst > John Deere - z/OS Support Services > em: stewartthom...@johndeere.com > __________________________________ > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of > Martin, Terry R.
