I've attached the isolinux.cfg file.  According to the web site, it's
the same format as syslinux.cfg.  A description of the options can be
found here: http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php#config.

IIRC, from the presentation and discussions last night, you could modify
isolinux.cfg for an unattended install by creating a new label or adding
to an exiting label something like the following:
  append ks=ks.cfg

(From what I've read on the web pages, I think it would then look for
the file ks.cfg in the isolinux directory.  Might have to give it the
full path, though.)

Note that in the attached isolinux.cfg file (from the Pheobe 3 beta)
there is already a "ks" label defined.  It doesn't specify as kickstart
config file so I'm assuming that it'll automatically look for ks.cfg in
the isolinux (or maybe root) directory.
