Kickstart day. Few more machines are off from Compaq to IBM. Meanwhile, I managed to get an interesting problem with kickstart - it panics the kernel with “init not found” if I boot from the floppy to do CD-ROM installation. Needs more investigation, but for now I choose to boot from CD-ROM and use floppy only for ks.cfg storage While looking for anyone with similar problem, I came across several nice resources about creating your own distribution based on Red Hat. Distribution Hacking 101 explains in details how to add LTSP project to Red Hat 7.2 CDs; and Red Hat 7 CDs mini-HowTo gives lots of explanations in general. There is something similar at Linuxdoc.org.
