yes! Bingo!<br><br>That .disk is used to identify the install disk to anaconda. It is a crucial chunk. sorry. I didn't realize you had a home-built installation disk.<br><br>There's a pattern to the code in that file. If you compact a CD tree int a single DVD, the disk id does not need to change.<br>
<br>HOWEVER! If you add a disk the disk id must be different for disk 2+ and later in sequence that earlier disks. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 4:34 PM, Ted W <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ted@techmachine.net" target="_blank">ted@techmachine.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Not that this helps, but thank you for making me aware that this layer<br>exists in Ubuntu land. I was originally going to say "wha???" until I<br>found the KickstartCompatibility page [1].<br><br><br>That looks like a valid kickstart, and what you appear to be<br>
