[ILUG] RedHat 6.2 KickStart install via FTP probs

Hi all

I have a bit of a prob. I have searched the net far and wide but have
not found a solution. I wonder if anyone is able to help me?

I have organised a RedHat kickstart install (ie I have got the ks.cfg,
all the redhat files on my nfs/ftp server). I attempted a kickstart
install over NFS, and it started ok. Granted dropping packets left,
right and center (2 hours over a 100mbit network), but at least it
worked. Now I try to install via FTP and appears to fail. I use the
line:

url --url ftp://10.0.0.200/redhat

And when the kickstart starts up, it comes up with the language
selection dialog. This doesn't happen when I try to use the NFS
install. This is using the latest RedHat 6.2 boot disk I have the
relevant language files, etc in the file, but nothing appears to be
being read since I even have to setup network details, and eventually
it just crashes (anaconda chucks some kind of spac attack).

Does/has anyone know what has happened to make this one line change
make a complete kickstart file seem ignored?

Thanks!

Brett.
