Hi Bryan,
Here's a few tips. Starting with a highres always leads to suboptimal metaphors. Think how you'd execute that at 16x16px. You're using way too many elements here. My understanding of the kickstart tool is that it creates a sort of receipe to perform future installations automatically. That's where you should focus with the metaphor. Think recipe, installation, automation, cloning... and try to minimize the number of objects required.

cheers
