Hi, folks --

I'd like to know if there's a way to do a completely hands-off kickstart.
I know that it is likely to be tricky to get a PC to boot from its
network card, so I could go the kickstart floppy route, and I even think
that I can pull the floppy as soon as things are going (say, after a
minute or two when I hear the hard disk churn away; a whole load takes
less than 10 minutes from power-on to "hit OK and remove your media").

It's the "remove your media" part that bugs me; I have to have a keyboard
in place in order to hit the space bar to tell the box to go ahead and
reboot.  How can I (perhaps in %post) tell the box to not wait for me but
to bounce itself as soon as it is done with the load?


TIA & HAND

:-D
