The only changes made to the .iso supplied by VMWare are a kickstart .cfg file at the root of the CD and a modified isolinux.cfg in the /isolinux directory. No Network needed and %post of kickstart used to further config server to office standard.... I have successfully created a scripted kickstart install using a all-in-one bootable CDRom.

And if so, how would I make that work? Is it possible to make a scripted install without using a network connection, but a floppy? And if so, how would I make that work?

NTP settings, vSwitch config etc, goes fine. Just noticed that sometimes the nics are in standby mode. There is a discussion on the vmware forum about this with a number of solutions. Gabrie Hi

I'm sure most of it will run fine. I did read about a problem in ESX 3.5 with people who had scripted their network config, that ESX does something funny with putting NICs in standby mode. It can be easily reconfigured. Gabrie Hi
