Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately, I still cannot get Kickstart to
function properly. I installed my template machine from an ftp server
(here in our company). When I try and use the kickstart configuration
generated, it skips asking me for NFS, HTTP, or FTP and goes straight to
looking for a SCSI card / local CDROM. If I'm using the kickstart, I can
find no way to tell it to install from ftp. Can you help me do this?
Thank you.
