Ok, thanks, I'll try.

One more question: is there way to specify (1) a mirror host, and (2)
an HTTP proxy in the kickstart file?

And by the way what's the default mirror host the installer uses?

Can I manually change it by executing a shell during the install process?

Thanks again, this really helps!
