Here is what needs doing :

• Write a kickstart file that would either install an existing system[1]
• Write a bash shell script that can be run on the machine, which would

do some tests and exit with '0' if all goes well.

If I may suggest? Please put in the following '%post -nochroot' script.

 %post -nochroot
 /bin/cp /tmp/ks.cfg /mnt/sysimage/root/ks.cfg

On RHEL 6, you should end that with a '%end' statement.

Sounds good. Why dont you go ahead and contribute the relevant kickstarts and the test scripts.

This preserves your downloaded ks.cfg in your built system's /root/ directory, for reference and comparison to the derived anaconda-ks.cfg. This is particularly important if you're like me and use multiple '%post' sections for distinct post-install operations.

would make for an easy scripted test :)
