Hi Kent I also install from dvd images on USB stick and have no problem.
Here is network config in ks file network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --onboot=yes (I wonder if you should have it somewhere in the beginning of the ks, I wonder if order of some entries matter?) syslinux menu options are (to read ks from external server): append ks=http://xx.xx.xx.xx/ks/ks-dev.cfg ksdevice=eth0 repo=hd:sda2:/ initrd=initrdnew4.img or can also read from the USB stick ks=hd:sda1:/ks.cfg cheers Artem.
