Couple of things... The fixed IP makes it a pain to configure. I am more of a RH linux type, so the debian Ubuntu made me figure out how to change the networking. No huge deal, I just changed /etc/network/interfaces. I could not figure out how to do a "service network restart", so i ended up rebooting. (How do you restart networking in debian??)

Maybe it would be better to set up as DHCP? I usually use UDA within VMware Workstation from my laptop for mass deployments. I had to tweak the .vmx to get it to work in Workstation.

I didn't get a chance to rattle its cage yet, but the kickstart build wizard looks promising....
