 3.3 Running Kadischi automatically
+
+Since Kadischi itself doesn`t require any interaction, and the only interaction
+that is required is the interaction with anaconda, the only thing we have to do
+is to make anaconda run automatically. This can be done using kickstart files.
+If you supply anaconda with complete kickstart file, it will run without
+prompting (if ks file is incomplete, it will prompt you only for the information
+it lacks).
+
+If you want to run Kadischi with kickstart, use --kickstart command line option:
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| kadischi /tmp/fc4 /tmp/fedora-live.iso --kickstart=/path/to/kickstart.cfg     |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Some examples of kickstart files that can be used are included in the package
+and can be found in /usr/share/kadischi/ks_examples.
+
+Another thing that metters is bringing up the user interface. Even if supplied
+with complete ks file, anaconda will bring up the interface (GUI or TUI) which
+is something we don`t want here. Luckily, anaconda can be run in command line
+mode, where no interface is initialized. So, if you want to run Kadischi in the
+background, you would do something like:
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| kadischi /tmp/fc4 /tmp/fedora-live.iso --kickstart=/path/to/kickstart.cfg -C |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+where -C stands for command line. You can also use --cmdline instead of -C.
+
+Please note that in command line mode, no interaction with anaconda is possible,
+so if you have an incomplete kickstart file, anaconda will just print an error
+message to stdout and stop (it will not abort execution).
+
+Using this two command line options you could, for example, create a cron job
+that will create fresh ISOs from rawhide repository every day.
