I installed F11 x86_64 from the DVD. I did a minimal install using
only the base and development groups because I have several thousand
extra packages I like to install. Usually I do them via script, but
decided to try something different this time around in order to make
the process faster. I had heard about pungi and kickstart, and they
sounded like the way to go.
Well, you can use the original DVD with a classic kickstart file
which just tells Anaconda what to install from the DVD. You don't
have to spin your own DVD.

I install aren't on the DVD, so I wanted to create a 'DVD' that had
them on, even though it was just an iso on the hard drive, and
automatically install all of them. And then do what you said, though I'm
not sure how to do what you said, 'use the original DVD with a classic
kickstart file'. It's like I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. I've
read several descriptions on the web and the Fedora website, and I'm
still not clear *how* the kickstart file is invoked. It must be so
obvious that no one makes note of it.
By reading the anaconda code I found that the variable
ks='some_kickstart_file' passed to anaconda invokes it, but not *how*
that gets into the DVD. As I said, I'm missing something obvious
here. I want to do the install like an admin would if he or she was to
do it on a machine on the network, but I want to redo it on the current
machine.
