It looks like DOS linefeed/carriage return characters issue, however, the kickstart file was created on Red Hat machine using vi.
On opening the file again, on the Red Hat machine using vi, what is the result of typing: :set ff ? <CR> If it's "fileformat=dos", then vi (which is mostly aliased to vim these days) has been influenced to produce LF/CR line endings, either by configuration or by opening a tainted file to make the new file. To repair, type: :set ff=unix :wq Now the file should be good. Erik -- Animals can be driven crazy by putting too many in too small a pen.
