To stop installation again from CD when giving reboot


Hi,

I am using Anaconda Installer.

After installation of the image , when I give reboot and if the CD is present in the CDROM , the installation starts again. How can I make it stop so that when the boot msg comes, installation should continue only if I press enter.

My isolinux.cfg has timeout 1min.

my isolinux.cfg is as follows

default linux
prompt 1
timeout 600
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
label linux
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img text ramdisk_size=8192 ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg
label text
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img text ramdisk_size=8192
label expert
kernel vmlinuz
append expert initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192
label ks
kernel vmlinuz
append ks initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192
label lowres
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img lowres ramdisk_size=8192
label local
localboot 1
label memtest86
kernel memtest
append -


Thanks & Regards

Jomy

Thanks dive,

The issue can be solved liked that. But the problem is if by chance if he forgot to remove the CD then the installation will continue.

Ok I got it. When I removed the timeout value, the installation will continue only if I press enter.
