Ah, but the %pre section can provide some, maybe all, of a replacement
ks file.

I've seen documentation on it for 8.0 or 9, and someone else mentioned
(I think) that  Anaconda 7.3 rereads the ks file after %pre.

If so, then you can actually use two ks files. However, since I've moved
most of my machines to Debian, I don't propose to actually test that
out.

If someone does, I'll be interested to read aboutit.
