CentOS - Oct 2010 - Kickstart - URL command

Hi list,

I'm fiddling with CentOS 5.5 and kickstarted installations via cobbler. In
my environment I need to install using the HTTP protocol over a proxy.

Does anyone know why the URL command doesn't support the --proxy method? I
get an Anaconda error message stating that this method is not supported.
Even though i found out about that method in documentation.

Relevant section in my kickstart:

# install system
install
url --url=http://1.2.3.4/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-5.5-x86_64/
--proxyhttp://5.6.7.8:12345
text
firstboot --disable
reboot

Anyone with suggestions? Other methods of getting this thing to install over
a proxy server?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Jorgen Maas
