I do not know anything about kickstart or its config file but is the plain "cdrom" the actual device? Not /dev/cdrom or /dev/scd1, etc.?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 9:05 AM, Ted W <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ted@techmachine.net" target="_blank">ted@techmachine.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm not using PXE boot for this, I simply wanted to automate the process of answering the install questions automagically and using a local mirror for packages instead of having to update manually after installation completes. Any help figuring out where I've gone wrong would be greatly appreciated. This is my first kickstart file under Ubuntu.<div>
