Jeroen answered the other questions for me.

"repo" isn't a "special" kickstart option.  It's used by anaconda to
access additional repositories during install.  The only "special"
thing that pungi uses is a partition type of "iso" to indicate how
large you want your isos to be.

Thanks! Is there any documentation on the Kickstart format? http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f8/en_US/sn-automating-installation.html is very brief. More specifically, I wonder:

* Why and when was %end introduced?


I don't know why but I do know when: in the middle of the Fedora release cycle breaking anaconda because it appended %end (until it got to 1.19).

* Is it still required that %packages is at the end of the KS file?


"The end" here is relative. %pre and %post can come after %packages still, it is merely that all the other statements, such as partitioning and install/upgrade or text/graphical, etc... are in the beginning.

Maybe a better way to put it is to imagine the kickstart split in two sections: one must come first and holds all the answers to the different stages of the installation process, the other -that must be last- holds %pre, %post and %packages.

* Why is "mouse" not allowed any longer?


I'm not sure what you mean by 'mouse'.

Kind regards,
