There's the official redhat customization guide:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/

The archive of this list will answer most common kickstart questions:
https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list

Package selection is a matter of adding groups like "@ Web Server",
individual packages ("nc"), or excluding unwanted packages ("-cups").
Various options (e.g. "--resolvedeps") prevent anaconda crashing out
with dependency problems.

Otherwise you'll have to more specific about the problems you're having
with kickstart.


Hope this helps,
