We configure our boxes through a web interface and write a ks.cfg file

We have also modified base/comps so that we have our own custom package
groups.
ie
LDAP Server
Web Server
FTP Server
Networking
Base

etc...

our web system creates the ks.cfg. we write a boot floppy with our
modified syslinux.cfg to automatically boot in ks mode.
suck the files off a web server

takes around 10 minutes to install a box

we are finishing our scripts to configure other options later. but
mostly it works nicely.

just gota get our custom kernel in a binary rpm now!
