Yes for the time being I want to install from DVD Rom
Yes I'm leaving the partioning out as the drive sizes will change
between machines

There are alot of errors if I shift page up ..

The last few on the screen are

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pykickstart/base.py", line 321,
in dispatcher
  self.commands[cmd].parse(args[1:1])
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pykickstart/commands/method.py",
line 81, in parse
  (opts, extra) = op.parse_args(args=args)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'parse_args'
install exited abnormally [1/1]


thanks
