Description Petr Bokoc 2014-09-01 13:16:54 UTC 
Update the Kickstart chapter.

Most of the surrounding text (howto) can be taken directly from RHEL7 Install Guide[1].

The Kickstart Syntax reference section can be taken from there as well, but note that many commands and options changed in Fedora since then, so it needs a review and additional work. Some of the changes are described in the F21 Release Notes on the wiki[2].

Also: It has been reported that currently the syntax reference is really hard to read and that it could use a table of contents. To do that, we should probably consider moving it to a separate chapter and either turning each command into its own section, or at least creating a few categories and sections for them - so that a ToC is generated at the top of the chapter.
