I'm working on a project which automates creation of EC2 AMI images. To do this, you must use a running EC2 instance to mount an image file in a chroot jail.

My problem is that I want to create an AMI that looks exactly like a minimal (nothing selected) install from the CentOS ISO image

I did some research - it looks like I might be able to do this with kickstart:

http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-start...

However, I'm unsure exactly which of those options to use. This seems like a common task - are there any good tutorials which show the exact process to create an basic CentOS image in a chroot via kickstart?
