View Full Version : Kickstart "repo" option

I've made several attempts to kickstart F10-beta, all met with failure. There seems to be known issues that require the ksdevice use DHCP, which is not working with the new NetworkManager integration. I attempted to get around this by using a local ks.cfg. If I append ks=hd:sdb1:/ks.cfg the system will read the file, getting past the first hurdle.

Since the network can not be intialized, I tried to point back to the CD for install, but it seems that syntax has changed. Using install cdrom did not work, as it wants to use the repo option instead. The docs say it should read repo=cdrom:/device, but that fails also. The more correct repo line seems to be something like:
repo --name="Installation Repo" --baseurl=cdrom:/device
Alas, no luck with that either. I'm having trouble figuring out the format of the device specification.

Anyone else working with kickstart?
