No problem. Was not to hard to find. More irritating was the that some
part search for things under <mysite>/ARCH/... and some parts directly
under <mysite>/... though i gues to stream line all scripts is not an easy
task.

Hm, i just did it a few hours ago. Needed an hour or so. Ok, i have absolutly
no clue if i did break anything. Sadly the error described further down comes
if i use the original script or my version :(

If you want i can send you my version. It is just a trimmed down version of
your script. BTW i am using only disk 1 from SL, so i am pretty sure i doesn't
need more space than one finds normally on a cdr :)

As far as i can see the ks.cfg is found and anaconda tries to mount and access
/mnt/source/site/<mysite>.
IIUC this is an anaconda problem.

I am attaching a screenshot of the boot messages. Both are in png format.
I use a vmware exp installation to test the isos.
