Sure, I was just thinking about that...

Almost. But ks still requires some screens to be filled out.  Maybe there 
is something wrong with ks...  I still get a screen to select the 
language, and another to specify the IP address information, and then one 
to select the type of install, and then install host.  After that, ks does 
everything.  Perhaps these screens shouldn't be coming up, or I'm doing 
something wrong with ks...

Sure. I think these may have been posted already (they're now two years
