I've set up the kickstart installation to use the DVD.

I PXE boot, load the kickstart file from an http server,
do the actual install from a local DVD.

Net access in the %post section seems to work for some
unknown reason, at least I can do an NFS mount and
transfer files.

But you'll need to visit every machine and insert the F7 DVD.
