Well, right now for this admin the easiest way to generate a kickstart
is to do obscenely pedantic package customization in anaconda and tweak
the autogenerated kickstart file.

The problem doing it any other way is you need to match anaconda
tools/release media while when you use the target cd anaconda you're
sure to get a working kickstart file.
