reboot in your kickstart config will exit the installer automatically;
otherwise, it prompts

You can't (generally) do this as the system is running off of the
livecd.  So removing it is removing the disc of your rootfs.  If you
have enough ram, you can add 'live_ram' to your kernel command line and
instead the image will be copied and run out of ram
