Kickstart is fun. Hope you enjoy it. I, myself use it to create custom CD sets that I can hand over to nontechnical people at my client sites. They can then take pretty much any machine, pop in a CD, turn it on, wait 10 minutes, and have a basic CentOS install reboot itself directly into a remote XDMCP session with the local desktop server without ever picking up the phone to call me. It's fun watching Linux desktop use at my client sites expand all by itself, without any further efforts from me. Bad for the paycheck. But good for the soul.
If you are just going to run as a thin client, why not PXE boot instead of installing anything locally? The k12ltsp distro has everything canned for that - install it on a server and you are done.
