Thanks, but I still don’t understand why there are 2 squash images though.

A LiveOS/squash.img and a ovirt-node-ng-image.squashfs.img in the ISO for download, and which one should be used? When doing a kickstart installation I noticed it uses the Live OS image from the inst.stage2= and in the kickstart.cfg it would reference the other node image from liveimg --url Is there any documentation around doing kickstart installs with oVirt? Thanks, I too tried some weeks ago (4.2.1 if I remeber correctly) and was confused.... I was able to succesfully deploy, with these steps and pxe, also taking "inspiration" on what written at this link: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-node-ng/blob/master/docs/book/install.md<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_oVirt_ovirt-2Dnode-2Dng_blob_master_docs_book_install.md&d=DwMFaQ&c=Vxt5e0Osvvt2gflwSlsJ5DmPGcPvTRKLJyp031rXjhg&r=FiPhL0Cl1ymZlnTyAIIL75tE4L0reHcDdD-7wUtUGHA&m=rgnKzgcbneUduKTLB3TK11-C0nujZ9pmv5fb29w3P6M&s=7e2QHo5p940uHfpIDVGgpWYEmvdU_hv19H4TzdDSdP0&e=> note: my pxe server makes also as dhcp server and http server for install - iso of node-ng-installer mounted (via loop in my case) under /var/www/html/ovnode42 of pxe server -under /var/www/html created directory ovnode2_stage2 containing product.img (6k of file) downloaded here: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-node-ng_ovirt-4.2_build-artifacts-el7-x86_64/lastStableBuild/artifact/exported-artifacts/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__jenkins.ovirt.org_job_ovirt-2Dnode-2Dng-5Fovirt-2D4.2-5Fbuild-2Dartifacts-2Del7-2Dx86-5F64_lastStableBuild_artifact_exported-2Dartifacts_&d=DwMFaQ&c=Vxt5e0Osvvt2gflwSlsJ5DmPGcPvTRKLJyp031rXjhg&r=FiPhL0Cl1ymZlnTyAIIL75tE4L0reHcDdD-7wUtUGHA&m=rgnKzgcbneUduKTLB3TK11-C0nujZ9pmv5fb29w3P6M&s=hd2ex3r30up9YjbMif_YZQkk6ONU9wynqDjXAaxXVbE&e=> --> why not included..? I think in theory one can downoad here also the file updates.img and it should update the base version of the iso... TBV (not tested by me) ---> where to get the updates.img?
