Ejecting CD after kickstart installation

Hi Joe,

I suppose you mean ejecting it manually after it has started the 
installation. I suppose that would be one way of doing it, but the best 
thing would be if you could make it eject it automatically.

Can you not somehow tell the installation to eject the CD or something like 
that?
