My ALI scripts should be able to handle setting up which
services are running from bootup. That's what I wrote them
for ;)

Once those scripts have been setup and configured for a
particular machine, I can do a minimal fresh kickstart
installation in 20-30 minutes. The rest can be downloaded
and installed overnight while I'm sleeping :)
Also you can use a USB flash drive for storing your
kickstart file. Please see my Fedora guide 'Putting a
kickstart file onto USB flash drive' here:
