If your asking how to access the kickstart config via http? Put
ks=http://<IP address>/<path to config> as a kernel parameter

put the word 'text' in the kickstart config for text mode. X
will attempt to configure automatically. There is an easy to understand
manual for Red Hat administration that details the various kickstart
options. None of the systems I kickstart run X11 so I don't have
any good ideas off the top of my head if anaconda doesn't auto
configure your resolution correctly.

For RHEL5/CentOS 5:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-kickstart2-options.html

Sample config(my most advanced and versatile to date):
