On SuSE'autoyast instalattions, the system searches all available
devices for an ``info' configuration file. Does CentOS 5.x do
something similar to find a ``ks.cfg' file?
"ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg" Specify it at the command prompt at boot time. You
may have to substitute the drive you have your Kick Start file in.....
That's a no brainer, but when I'm testing various ks.cfg files,
it's far quicker to be able to edit a file on a USB device than
to burn a new CD.

ks=http://host/path/ks.cfg
Of course you have have to be using the network in order to do this...
It works well for me as I install via the http anyway.
