I've just remembered that actually anaconda can load a kickstart file from
all sorts of interesting places.....including a file on a disk in the 
machine. So you could create a floppy disk image, containing the kickstart
file, add it to the guest XML and boot with   "ks=file:fd0/ks.cfg"  thus 
avoiding any need to load it over the network

I found this tip here:

I'm just trying to get my machines working again so I can actually try
out your test cases myself...then i give any more feedback...

Regards,
Daniel
