Ok thank you. When you it's been your own version of the live CD can you actually get it to partition the discs as well like you would with a Kickstart configuration file?

I haven't tried to do a kickstart installation in more than a decade.  I'm guessing that there are properties about the live media that are a bit challenging for kickstart but I'd love to be wrong about that.

The reason I've lived without it is because I've been making my own respins that are fully updated and have the packages I want preinstalled... and doing a regular install has been pretty efficient that way.  In both methods, there always seem to be a few manual config tasks post-install.

When I've wanted to do a bunch of machines at once, usually I just do one system and then using a physical disk cloner (or bootable external hard disk with Clonezilla live and an image storage partition) and clone that.  Again, there'll be a little bit of post-clone/install manual config tasks.

Sorry I didn't have a better answer for you.  Maybe someone will.

TYL,
