So if we put aside how the kickstart would be generated, what would be the starting point in all of this ?
I was working with Centos55 when I made it to the partitioning phase (and I don't really know why it went wrong), but I couldn't even get the F14 kernel to load. In other words : - Which fedora kernel / initrd combination should I use in my grub.conf ? - Should any of those two be altered in any way ? I'm also willing to put some time in it if I may be useful... but like I said I'm no expert.
