Yes, kickstart can do a new install.  If you are only installing on one 
machine, however, you probably just want to do a regular install (hit 
ENTER at the boot prompt).

The ks.cfg file must be on a floppy, CD, or a network access point.  It 
is used to specify the answers to the questions that the installer will 
ask.  Install Red Hat Linux 8.0 on at least one system and you can use 
the redhat-config-kickstart program to help you create a ks.cfg file.
