I am working for Red Hat as an instructor.  Every week, we reinstall our
servers and classrooms, and we use kickstart.  Personally, I prefer using
nfs, but it is a personal choise.  There are two tools to set up
kickstart, mkkickstart and ksconfig.  Both are easy to use, and make more
or less accurate setup files.  Small changes must be done to both config
files afterwards, but they are minor.

We are using nfs, and it seems broken.  What I do is that I mount,
unmount, mounts again, do the job and unmount.  For some reason, this
seems to work.
