Thank you Jodok for responding and providing example steps. Much Appreciated!!!
I guess I will be able to use NFS instead of HTTP right? Also the 3rd party
software I want to install are not RPM packages but is interactive and need to
provide input. To name one I am trying to see if I can install NBU client
software on server as a part of post install. So I believe need to provide
those inputs in the kickstart profile itself but don't know if I can do that.
Regards,
Arvind.
