Thank you Tom,
As I stated in my previous response to Bruno Wolf,  I would love to know of a way to do this to 20-30 systems per day via a kickstart server so I do not even have to interact with the machine other than boot it via the kickstart CD or floppy and let it rip ... I yet have to see a kickstart automatic menu that comes with each Fedora release to make this workable. A kickstart ISO image for installing all options for the release  would be great!

Cheers,

MK
