As a hint, If you run through the interactive setup, I usually steal the kickstart file out of the root home directory and compare it to the one you can view via the web to see if I got all the options I needed at least for the first few passes.
It's also a great method to validate that the templates and snippets actually work properly without having to waste time booting a test system. James -- Sent from my phone.
