[Design-team] Ticket #101, Request for new system-config-kickstart icon

[Bryan Nielsen]

I added another concept but with two small icons, a configuration
checklist and a stack of drives. Not as busy as the previous concepts
but I'm not sure if the visual metaphor works.

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.
