On first thought I didnt want to have X different KS files for setting the timezone... however, I can use the command line method I was thinking about... then use the %pre section to make use of the KS timezone command.
Thanks - I just wasnt thinking straight yet this morning.
If you have lots of KS files you can use %include
%include mysite-standard-stuff.ks
In that file add standard stuff like:
timezone US/Los_Angeles lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us auth --useshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing
Keep it simple..... There is a tool to flatten KS files out there that can be of help (used it once). Use a revision control system for your KS files too.
