Here's what I do: I have a cgi that creates a ks.cfg file by
including info from a bunch of smaller files, the files that get
used depend on the class of system and so on. You only need to
kickstart using
ks=http://server/wherever/ks.cgi?class=super&other=parameters

At some point the %post entry also downloads some scripts and
runs them using a similar method.
