Other stuff not supported by Ubuntu's implementation of Kickstart: - PAM/NSS configuration for network directory service (authconf stuff) - LILO bootloader configuration (but who would want that?) - Upgrade (not relevant in Ubuntu case; we upgrade in-place using apt) - Partitioning: o Partitioning limited to a single disk o Checking a disk for bad sectors o RAID/LVM, as you explained - Driver disk support - No "device" command to specify additional kernel module - Installing from NFS or local hard disk - Package exclusion in the %packages section ... And a few other less relevant tidbits.
