Oh wanting the anaconda-ks.cfg file was just a case of me being a bit
lazy because I didn't want to have to go through the manual package
selection process again when I reinstalled. And if the install failed
repeatedly in the same place as the first time ("due to bad media or
corrupt gimp-print-cups package") then I was hoping that I could
kickstart through the install and save myself time ...

Anyhoo - I guess I will just have to make a few extra clicks each time :)

Thanks anyway Forrest - as always - you rock!
