Admitedly, this method of doing remote kickstart upgrades is only really
practical in a setup where you have many identical workstation machines
out on the network, or just one or two machines that you can mimic the
hardware on and test beforehand, this way you know beforehand what has
been installed on them and just how big their harddrives are.  And if
you use dhcp, it gives you the advantage of only having to make one
ks.cfg as opposed to one for each machine, with a different network
line for each.
