Isn't kickstart a solaris thing, or have redhat developed new stuff
I didn't know about?

If it is just a solaris thing, I was holding up solaris boxes as being
GOOD because they don't come with much stuff installed. For servers,
I see this as a desirable feature.

One of these days I must play with the FAI (fully automatic installation)
stuff for debian.
