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?
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,
Jerry
