Description Jeff Layton 2013-06-09 15:03:44 UTC 
Table 11.2 on this page seems to have the wrong syntax listed for ks= options:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Installation_Guide/sn-automating-installation.html#tb-kssources

It says:

    ks=hd:/device/directory/ks.cfg

...but really, it should be:

    ks=hd:device:/directory/ks.cfg

...I think the others are similarly incorrect, but don't have a good way to confirm that at the moment.

I've removed the cited '/' from the table [1], as per the wiki page maintained by the anaconda team [2]._Kickstart_Options . The other entries in the the table appear correct, and this looks like the only instance where "ks=hd" had the leading slash. Thanks for reporting, Jeff!
