KickStart Problems



I am having two problems with the kickstart installation method, using
RH6.1.

The first problem is that I can't get the ftp method working.
README.ks says to use the following line: "url --url ftp://x.x.x.x/pub";.
The installation procedure reports that the "url" keyword is not
recognized.  I have used both the boot.img and the bootnet.img, and have
testing the manual ftp method (using bootnet.img) with success.  The
"cdrom" kickstart method works also.

The second problem is that I can't seem to get the "%post" section to
work.  What ever I try it seems that it can't find the program I am
running, and it can't find the path I am describing.

Enclosed is the ks.cfg file I have been using.

************** Begin ks.cfg
lang en_US
network --bootproto dhcp
#If I uncomment the url line it doesn't work (url keyword not recognized)
#url --url ftp://10.0.40.64/pub

#The cdrom keyword does.
cdrom
keyboard us
zerombr yes
clearpart --all
part / --size 1000 --grow
part swap --size 120
part /tmp --size 300
part /tmp --size 300
install
mouse genericps/2
timezone --utc US/Eastern
xconfig --monitor "AOC 7G Series"
rootpw asiroot
auth --useshadow
lilo --location mbr
