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. -- NiftyCluster T o m M i t c h e l l
