I've never actually used kickstart.  I wonder if anyone would offer an
opinion on how easy it is to learn/use?  The only real use that I would
have for it is that I have a couple of machines that I install each new
Fedora release on.  Currently I have a manual checklist I go through
("make sure autofs is installed" is one of the items).  I find that the
checklist tends to change a bit with each Fedora release, so I'm
wondering just how useful it would be to try to automate it.  Comments?
