Robert, et al;
I've alway's loved the simplicity and automation of kickstart throughout all the Redc Hat and Fedora releases. You can trigger not only installs but upgrades as well, by specifing it in the ks.cfg Network installs are so much more automatable and faster than standing around waiting to swap CDs. If you have an NFS, Apache, or even an FTP server already, (who doesn't these days?) the additon of dhcpd, and tftp, means you'll never need to burn another install CD. If you have a reasonable new NIC that supports PXE, you don't even need a floppy. The process is pretty well documented. In fact, this past week, I just went through the entire process yet again, at an IBM facility in Dallas.
