Writing/modifying kickstart files actually is tougher than writing
"ks=..." on the installer kernel command line.
If nothing else, having a prompt would increase awareness of kickstart.
It would be nice if we could improve upon system-config-kickstart and get nice
interfaces for both creating and using kickstart files. Having a prompt
where a user could select the source of a kickstart file, and just basic
information provided with that prompt, would allow even a novice user to save
the kickstart file that was created by one installation and use it to repeat
that installation.
