ok thanks - it was taking the default.ks as that was set in the global 
settings

ok thanks - yes i guess it is a 'breed' thing as the answerfile is the 
same idea as the kickstart however its not quite the same

the problem is that a) the order matters it seems b) the ---'s are being 
appended so to form ---=None which is wrong and also i need to be able 
to add a distro without initrd= as there is not one with XenEnterprise, 
the start of the kernel line should look like

append Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0/xen.gz 

and not

append initrd=/images/Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0/xen.gz




thanks
