I use http to get the ks file, and that gives one the opportunity to generate 
it on-the-fly. You could encode all sorts of stuff into the KS url - machine 
type (server, desktop, something else), department name, special 
requirements.

Just hand out the floppy (or CD-RW) with the appropriate request information 
encoded.

I note that in (null) the ks %pre section can create ks stuff too. The mind 
just boggled.
