Jeff,
We have a hacked up script that copies a floppy image and ks.cfg into
place in LILO or GRUB and makes it the default boot. Once you reboot,
it kickstarts itself.
We run these with SUDO and use the $SUDO_USER. You should change your
paths as necessary, but the logic will work. It also assumes /boot is
it's own partition.
I've attached "remotekick" (LILO) and "grubkick". Hope they're useful.
"remotekick.console" and "grubkick.console" set up Kickstart via Serial
port instead of VGA.
