If I remember correctly, kickstart is the RH version of Solaris's
Jumpstart, which is a way of remotely installing desktops (or servers).
So it makes sense that this would be more configurable than a normal
desktop system tool.  And I'm not really sure how this applies to a
system that I (hypothetically) installed using CD's I downloaded and
burned.  Also, I'm not really sure where you get the idea that this
configuration even allows port ranges.  It seems that it is basically
the same tool as the 'system-config-securitylevel' tool, but designed
for creating a config script for a kickstart installation.  At any rate,
the link you sent (above) doesn't mention being able to configure port
ranges.
