Hello all,
Does anyone know how I might use kickstart to get a kernel with
staging enabled? I'm trying to install centos with speakup and
kickstart looks like a useful resource.
Thanks,

There is a Ubuntu kickstart file that was put up on a web page several
years ago. That file is tuned for British users, but has many useful
settings in it. I once used ks=<url> where I keyed in the url to boot
the installer disk and had the installer go to that url and install
ubuntu for me using that file. I had to change some things after that
like country and keyboard configuration and timezone but the install was
successful. I think maybe ks=/dev/fd0/ks.cfg would work if the ks.cfg
file was in root directory of your first floppy drive too but could be
wrong about that since I never found anything in documentation like a
specific example that stated this would work.

The ks.cfg file is edited with a text editor too.

Hello,

The ks=url parameter does work, as does ks=path I've done ks installs
via http and via local USB thumb drive.

One thing I have not done is attempted to get a staging kernel, this
is something I would find useful, if you want to collaborate maybe we
can get this working.

Hth
Dave.

I haven't done anything with centos; mostly if I do anything with redhat
stuff it's with Fedora itself.

I wouldn't mind colaborating, I'm retired and have the time available.
So long as I can get to the internet everything else should work.
