Bingo! That was certainly an issue! Thank you :-)

Do I need to do both of these? I have been re-partitioning a few times
as I have been trying out different things and have never needed to re
copy the mbr.bin!?

I am now realising this, The good news is the extlinux part is working
brilliantly as far as I can tell. While it is now booting the kickstart
is trying to read off the CD so I am now having to re-write that to read
off the partition.
Thank you again for your help and thank you for a great application :-)
