Hi Jason, I had reviewed your patchset, implemented the suggestions I pointed out, and I have one more thing we need to work out before we commit this - We absolutely need to provide examples on the config file, decently commented. So, could you please provide examples: * HTTP install using remote kickstart * NFS install using local kickstart And re-send the patchset? I will send the patchset with my modifications directly to you and will wait on your follow up.
