The installation media usually boots into an installer which will allow 
setting up the hard drive for default settings and allow minor 
customization of packages and groups of programs.

I've been using Linux for awhile and have not yet tried out kickstart. 
Kickstart s for automation of the install process for making many 
similar installations without sitting dwn and monitoring the 
installation on a step by step basis.

If your install medium does not brig up an installer, it would probably 
be wiser to download the installation medioum and burn them and then 
installing from the CDs or DVD that you downloaded the images from.
