I have no ks.cfg file in my system(s) which is not surprising since I 
have never used kickstart before... the closest I have is anaconda-ks.cfg 
in the /root directory and I do note that there is a Gnome applet to edit 
a kickstart file, but that one doesn't seem to have anywhere to specify 
repositories and their names.

man kickstart didn't return anything.

This is probably newbie territory, but could you or somebody point me to 
the kickstart documentation that covers the repositories to use and the 
syntax that goes into ks.cfg ...

I did try running livecd-creator with --cache /var/yum/cache but the huge 
download started anyway... after some checking, it seems the new rpm's 
went into /var/cache/yum/released ... the "fedora" repository appears to 
be renamed somewhere to "released".

Thanks...

Carlos
