[SOLVED] kickstart through proxy config

Hi all,

I have been working to get a kickstart built that will build through my proxy and I haven't been able to figure out the syntax for the ks.cfg.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

Ok, I figured it out.

The proxy goes in the isolinux.cfg file at the end of an "append" line, i.e.,

append initrd=initrd.img ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg proxy="http://proxy.company.com:8080"

Use quotes. It didn't work for me if I put if before the "ks=cdrom".

The manual method is to hit tab when the menu comes up and append the proxy to the end of the line. I was looking for a totally hands off method. Changing the isolinux.cfg is just that.
