Generating kickstart installation scripts for the Red Hat installer can
often be a painfully recursive process... make a script, try it out, watch
the installer tailspin because you used "--use..." instead of "--enable...", 
edit the file, go back to start.

The ksgen utillity is a GNOME druid that is intended to get people over 
kickstart syntax snafu's.  Currently, it is invoked with the "ksgen" command.
The ksgen utillity will then prompt for information for the installed 
information, generate a kickstart file for review and possible editing,
and then give the user the opportunity to store the file for later use.

currently, the only supported release is redhat 7.0.

DESIGN

ksgen is written in python (1.5.2), and makes use of the gtk/gnome/libglade
python libraries.

the kickstart druid implements backend objects for the basic directives that
can be driven from a variety of frontends.  currently, the only 
supported front end is via GNOME.

hooks have been placed for internal validation, and "deduction" of values 
from the current machine, though niether feature has been implemented.
