List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Kickstart installations are detailed in Red Hat's Customization Guide. All the Red Hat guides are available online at: http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/rhl9.html These guides are an outstanding source of information about Red Hat, and about Linux in general. You will not exhaust them. I note there are several new guides released for Red Hat 9, which is a good thing indeed. Please note that kickstart installations are not covered by the Installation Guide. Consider that a warning that performing a successful kickstart installation is not trivial, especially for the beginner.
