Since a kickstart file can refer to RPM's stored on the ISO file, or
on a separate website, and those RPM's are the majority of the bulk of
an installation DVD, it's not clear you can gracefully do this. A
single RPM file can drag in a *lot* of dependencies that may change
based on upstream updates. Why try to guess rather than simply running
the tool, which will be pretty fast if you work from a local yum
mirror?
