Advanced Linux Installations and Upgrades with Kickstart (O'ReillyNet)
O'ReillyNet discusses
Kickstart customization, scalability, and security. "Most Kickstart
experiments begin with a single ks.cfg file, though this approach is less
suitable for large deployments. Even a farm of cloned hardware will require
some settings unique to each host. That means you have either several
one-use ks.cfgs, or one file to tweak for each Kickstart target. These
methods are brittle because they bind two elements that may vary
independently of one another: host-specific data (the IP address) and
build-specific data (packages to install). When either one changes, the ad
hoc edits to resync the two may introduce errors."
