auto-configure NTP in Kickstart?

[Harry Hoffman]

1) perl -p -i -e 's/0.fedora.pool.ntp.org/NTP_SERVER_0/' /etc/ntp.conf
   perl -p -i -e 's/1.fedora.pool.ntp.org/NTP_SERVER_1/' /etc/ntp.conf
   perl -p -i -e 's/2.fedora.pool.ntp.org/NTP_SERVER_2/' /etc/ntp.conf
(the above is if your already chrooted in kickstart)

2) chkconfig ntp on
