Well thank you, let me give you another trick. The install logs and ks file are 
created at install time. Assuming you keep them around just as they were, you 
can use:
   cd /etc
   find . -type f -cnewer /root/anaconda-ks.cfg
To get a list of every config file you ever changed since install. Useful if you 
do a full install to save those files, so you can look at them and remember what 
you did. Depending on how you use /root it might be useful there as well.
