Nice.

So as an example, suppose you wanted to, in kickstart, add an entry in 
grub that would allow
you to reinstall the system, whenever you wanted, from the grub menu. 

All you would have to do is...

%packages
koan  # or otherwise install the rpm with wget/rpm in %post if using 
RHEL 3/4

%post
#set profilename =$getVar("profile",$name)
koan --server=$server --replace-self --add-reinstall-entry 
--profile=$profilename

I'll apply this and add it to the Wiki under the koan section shortly.

Thanks!
