Installing with the help of a kickstart file through NFS seems not to
work. 

When I boot using a boot.iso CD and enter
"ks=http://ip-local-server/sl6alpha.cfg", the installer starts, but
stops and waits a long time before giving me an error that it can not
mount the installation directory on the server. I am presented with the
screen where I can enter all NFS specifications (IP of the server,
directory and parameters). But it doesn't work and I end up with the
same error. 

If I reboot the same boot.iso CD and skip the kickstart
file, the NFS installation goes without a problem (I enter the same NFS
information as before)... 

Regards, 

Patrick
