I saw the same behaviour. The best way is to run kadischi with `-C` if 
you have a full kickstart file. This gives the cleanest output.

I removed them from the RPMS/ dir and took them out of comps.xml. I 
think this is the best way, and is faster than %post'ing them.

=====

kadischi currently needs ash, which isn't in FC4. I did a build with 
s/ash/sash but it panicked on boot.

=====

Docs should install to /usr/share/doc/kadischi-%{VERSION} instead of 
/usr/share/kadischi/doc

=====

I built some (quick & dirty) RPMS which will be periodically updated:

I have sucessfully built a live CD based on BLAG, which is based on Fedora.

I have my kickstart file and comps.xml in our wiki. They are very early 
drafts, but they work. See:

Thanks for kadischi!
