Full control, you set up your own partitions:

Here is an example:
clearpart --linux
part /boot --fstype ext3 --onpart hda2
part /var --fstype ext3 --onpart hda6
part /dos --fstype ext3 --onpart hda1
part / --fstype ext3 --onpart hda5 --grow
part /home --fstype ext3 --onpart hda9 
part swap --onpart hda8

You have more options than this as well, check the kickstart howto 
(dunno where it is, although I read it last week...)
