Chip, Thanks. You got me to play with the install while it was being performed and I figured out all of my issues. My general question still stands. Where is kickstart documented for folks who need to be a little more in-depth. A classic case is what are all the options that can be passed to %post and %pre? I have found some info in three or more different locations and the document I mentioned earlier has what appears to be some random text at the end of the "mount -o nolock" line. Kickstart is a great resource which could probably be documented a "little" more :-).
