Default Linux Network build, kickstart file problems.

I have setup a Linux network server, NFS enabled and a client server,
PXE enabled. The PXE, client server boots and loads the boot loader
from the network server but I cannot get the client server to recognize
or execute the kickstart file from the network server. I am trying to
install Linux to a client over the network via a kickstart file.

Anybody got suggestions?

I'd strongly suggest using http for downloading your ks config
and performing the installation. Http is more robust/faster then
using NFS for this task.

Good luck
