How to access the kickstart via http (and where to put it, somewhere in the /centos/5/os/i386 structure?).
If your asking how to access the kickstart config via http? Put ks=http://<IP address>/<path to config> as a kernel parameter
What to put into the kickstart to get it to finish in text mode? And how to set the xorg.conf size? THis will be a lot of reading up on kickstart. Been a couple of years since I did my own kickstart. I did figure out how to setup my drive info...
put the word 'text' in the kickstart config for text mode. X will attempt to configure automatically. There is an easy to understand manual for Red Hat administration that details the various kickstart options. None of the systems I kickstart run X11 so I don't have any good ideas off the top of my head if anaconda doesn't auto configure your resolution correctly.
For RHEL5/CentOS 5: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Gui...
Sample config(my most advanced and versatile to date): http://portal.aphroland.org/~aphro/centos_5_1_32.cfg
