It's undocumented (at least in RHL 9 manuals) but you can use
"firstboot --reconfig" (or --enable, --disable) option in kickstart. Don't 
remember if that a) works b) allows reconfiguring network though...
Then there's the "old" way to do it: add "touch /.unconfigured" into %post 
which will prompt you for various things on first boot, including network 
configuration.
