Thanks for this tip. Now if only someone could tell me how to use Taroon
CDs to install over the network (both KS file and software repository)
instead of using floppy kickstart/CDs.

I want to essentially have completely automated/unattended installs;
with bootable floppies, I need to manually eject them at the end of the
install. With CDs I need to manually change them every so often during
the install. With dual NICs, I so far had to manually select the NIC too.

With my non-PXE capable machines, I will have to manually insert the
boot CD, I can live with that.
