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.

Thanks!
