I can see that if this becomes Red Hat 6 it is going to be a pain, since I do a lot of remote stuff. And as of yet haven't been able to get control of PXE on a large network. So what I need is something like the PXE boot only an iso that I can boot from and just give it a ks file on the command line. I wouldn't say get rid of the 104Mb boot.iso, but I would like it to be a little more obvious as to what it is doing and where is getting the install from. Most of the time I have a local network source and it might be nice to be able to tell it to use it. But I would also like some kind very small boot.iso that maybe is called ksboot.iso that is only intended to be given a ks file and that is it.
