Hi There,
I've been having a bit of a problem with your AOOI script (great idea by the way) basically I have an older 32 Bit 1and1 root server that I've been trying to rebuild with CentOS the whole weekend,
My basic problem is that the kickstart config is making the CentOS installation want to install packages that are on disks 2 and 3. I downloaded disk 2 and put that in the /mnt partition and that got me much further along but due to 1and1's awesome configuration I've not got enough space on hda2 (2gb...) to put the 3rd CD in there too.
What should I be trying next, will a symbolic link to the iso's in a different partition work or should I be changing the jumpstart script to pull it back down to the minimal install and then bringing it back up to spec once I have CentOS core on there with a network connection,
Pervesely I tried dropping other 1and1 images to see if any of the partitions were more sensible but that's bricked the server so I'm waiting for 1and1 to bring it back up lol.
Any advice appreciated
Sam
AOOI Problem
The 1and1 i386 one.
Basically it loads up the installer fine, comes up with an error saying kernel-smp not found. Then trys to install 517 packages some of which are on CD 2 and 3

Ok, it's better now but it's still asking for things from CD 2. The installed packages has dropped to 455 though. Will submit ks.cfg when I've finished rebuilding.

Right, finally got that kickstart to work by downloading cd 2 and putting it in /mnt as well. Huge relief.
I'm actually waiting on another physical box to be provisioned from 1and1 so when I have a less pressing need I'm going to see if I can work out what packages are missing from that install on CD1 and I'll let you know.
