Ok, I burn a standard fedora iso, I boot on it, please do tell me
where is the command line or whatever I can use to input kickstart
commands.

Why do you have any package choices in anaconda anyway?  You can do it
all after the install, isn't it?  If what you people want is a minimal
install that only gives a reliable network and/or cdrom afterwards and
have the real install being done after having booted on it, just do
it.  But stop pussyfooting around.  Make a damn decision.
