yes. the link seems to be what i am looking for. seems, because
i did a quick skim of what is there. also back up to start of
Chapter 32. Kickstart Installations so i can read all of what
is written on kickstart.

any hints beyond what is there?

thank you for replying. greatly appreciated.

after looking thru above guide, it hit me that my
search was improper.

tried search again using single word 'kickstart'.

a big diff.

best of which;

  https://geekpeek.net/kickstart-file-centos/

shows step by step instructions with graphics of
the 'kickstart configurator'.

much better then what the red hat and centos
instructions show, and all contained on 1 page. ;=)

again, thanks for your help. you put me in right
direction and correct spelling.
