Running a system built with anaconda-11.4.0.40 (and friends), the

Am I doing something wrong?
Jeremy said that the ks file needs to be local at this point, stage1
grabs the ks file, but there is no stage1 with a cd install.
I really want to get this working so I can do [scripted] installs
from a livecd image.
Thanks
Is the network up at this point? If not.....
A work-around would be to script the grabbing of the ks file yourself
and copying it /tmp. Use wget for a http/ftp source or maybe mount
the nfs server and copy over the ks file.
Then use something like this:
liveinst --text ks=/tmp/ks.cfg
Precisely what I already did (see the first example above)
Just so I'm clear here, you burned the iso with this file in /tmp?
No, I downloaded the kickstart file into /tmp after the livecd was
booted, but before I called liveinst.
Looking through /usr/sbin/anaconda I see:
op.add_option("--kickstart", dest="ksfile")
but no --ks= so I don't think anaconda is using the ks file.
Perhaps "liveinst --text --kickstart=/tmp/ks.cfg" would do the trick
here. That is setup in the livecd ks file, which would need to be edited:
if strstr "\`cat /proc/cmdline\`" liveinst ; then
/usr/sbin/liveinst --kickstart=\$ks
fi
if strstr "\`cat /proc/cmdline\`" textinst ; then
/usr/sbin/liveinst --text --kickstart=\$ks
fi
Hoping I'm on the right track,
Thanks - I'll look more closely at how these options are passed around.
