So you're going to have a local copy of all the RPMs for the minimal
installer to use?
Personally I think you're best off saving yourself headaches and making
certain you have a network available (and might just as well PXE boot at
that point).

Per the URLs above:
- It appears you can place a ks.cfg on the root of the device and it will
be used by default. Though it is also possible (and probably best for
multiple kickstart recipes) to specify the config manually.

Disclaimer:
I have not tested the above notes for complete accuracy.
I have always had a network connection available and [in many cases] PXE
booted my installs. I reference a kickstart config on a local web server.
