I'm currently using kickstart for installing new servers and have run into
the following scenario: all the machines will have the same basic setup of
packages, however they will each be configured for a specific task. For
example, some will be mail-serving machines and won't need things like a
web
Gotcha. Thanks all! You guys gave me the answers I needed to know and hear.
For the immediate futre I will likely go with multiple pxeboot options
which then picks the specific kickstart file. It's easy for me to put a
label on the server that says 'web' or 'mail' etc. Then just pick the same

don't forget you can define PXE config files based on the IP, IP range
or MAC address of the server. This means that you don't have to select
