[TriLUG] kickstart questions

[Chris Knowles]

Kickstart is really cool.

1) From the redhat docs on
kickstart:http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide


You can also specify which packages not to install from the default
package list: 

@ Games and Entertainment
-kdegames

2) If you look on the boot diskette, there is a text file "syslinx.cfg" 
In that file, there are lines that start with append for each of the
boot options.  Add ks=floppy to the line that is appropriate for you.
