"Kickstart" as a general concept provides full automation to a
Fedora/RedHat installation. If you wish to proceed through the install
GUI via VNC, kickstart ain't necessary. Suggested reading includes the
anaconda documentation (/usr/share/doc/anaconda*), particularly the vnc
arguments to bootup.

(I realiase this isn't a super-helpful answer, but I think all your
questions are covered in the docs. Feel free to reply if things are
still unclear.)
