Hi Mad,
We use NFS for the install path. In our case we do the following:
1. Edit the Distro and change the Kickstart metadata.
a. I replace the entire string with this: ksdistro=distro_name
2. In the profile add another Kicstart Metadata
a. loccode=locx
3. Create a snippet that sets the server name and directory path and then specifies
the nfs line
4. Include that snippet in the kickstart template.
Here is a sample of the snippet:
#set $loccode = $getVar('loccode', 'loc1')
#if $loccode == 'loc1'
#set $server = 'loc1_server'
#set $path = '/loc1_path'
#else if $loccode == 'loc2'
#set $server = 'loc2_server'
#set $path = '/loc2_path'
#else if $loccode == 'loc3'
#set $server = 'loc3_server'
#set $path = '/loc3_path'
#end if
# Network install
nfs --server $server --dir $path/$ksdistro

There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who
claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.
