That means I point unetbootin at the DVD iso and at the USB device?
unetbootin will destroy whatever was on the USB
device and make a USB version of an install DVD?

The website also mentions a "frugal" hard drive-only method,
but I'm a confused by it.

The CD just has the iso file as downloaded.
I'd though that the ks file could be provided
during boot along with the DVD-sized iso file.
