Hi Phil

Thanks for the help. It now works. I needed the feedback from Alt-F3!
The dhcp server did not supply the correct server, so that the file was
tried to mount from the dhcp server (in a default /kickstart directory).

The GUI did not show any warnings and just went on....

It might have something to do with name resolution. I assumed this
should work. Anyhow I tried the ks=http:// method and that fetched the
file correctly from the correct server. The installation script halted
at the disk partitioning step as I expected.

Thanks again,
Theo
