+ Red Hat Kickstart Mode
+
+Red Hat provides a method for unattended installation of a system
+using a text configuration file. To enter the kickstart mode, type
+linux ks <ENTER>. Kickstart mode works with both NFS and CD-ROM
+installations.
+
+The installation program looks in the following places for the config file:
+ o the broadcast server from bootp.
+ o the bootp server if no other server name is broadcast.
+ o on the boot floppy if linux ks=floppy <ENTER> is given.
+
+The file it looks for is given by the bootp server as either a directory or
+an explicit file name. If a directory is given, then kickstart looks for a
+file in that directory with the IP of the client as the file name followed
+by "-kickstart" (ie. 192.168.0.1-kickstart). If the floppy argument is
+given, then it will look for a file named "ks" on that floppy.
