Kickstart Fedora Core 2 via NFS???

[Basil Copeland]

I use the boot.iso on Fedora CD1 to create a bootable
CDROM for starting kickstart/NFS installations.  Just
put your ks.cfg in exported directory you are using
for your NFS install, and then point to it with the

boot: linux ks=nfs:IPADDR:/path/to/ks.cfg

For further info, look at the first option under "Boot
CDROM" in the following:
