I would like to see the same thing! a lot of customers are facing the same issue.. You don't want to have 15 different kickstart profiles to maintain.
I have a parametrized post script which will parse the /proc/cmdline. The custom options is added using syslinux menus. see attachment.

ATM, virtually all my kickstarts have one pre, one non-chroot post and one post. All pre scripts look a little like: --- common_script() { wget -P /tmp http://sat.server/pub/build_scripts/pre/$1 . /tmp/$@ rm -f /tmp/$1 } set -x common_script monolithic.sh disklayoutEL5Client --- All non-chroot posts look like: --- cp `awk '{ if ($1 ~ /%include/) { print $2}}' /tmp/ks.cfg` /tmp/ks-pre.log /tmp/ks.cfg /mnt/sysimage/root --- (Hopefully I won't need this when Sat v5.3 comes out) And all post scripts look a little like: --- common_script() { wget -q -P /tmp http://sat.server/pub/build_scripts/post/$1 . /tmp/$@ rm -f /tmp/$1 } set -x common_script monolithic.sh \ --subscribe-software-channels=rhel-x86_64-client-5,wel-rhel5-client-x86_64,rhel-x86_64-client-supplementary-5,rhel-x86_64-client-workstation-5,rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-client-5,rhel-x86_64-desktop-epel-5,dag-x86_64-desktop-5 \ --join-config-channels=welgen_rhel5_x86_64_lws,welgen_rhel5_x86_64,welgen_rhel5,welgen_lws,welgen,welcommon \ --additional-packages=samba,nbtscan,kchmviewer,kernel-devel --- I'd really like to be able to share scripts between kickstarts as this would save me a lot of work. Also, it used to be the case that if you had mulitple post scripts you couldn't control the order in which they ran. Is this still the case?
