Description Petr Bokoc 2013-12-10 16:27:07 UTC 
The Kickstart Configurator (system-config-kickstart) tool is very out of date in RHEL7 Beta - it seems it was barely touched and still contains choices from RHEL 6. Find out what's going on with it and if it's getting an update for RHEL 7, provide the corresponding documentation (rewrite the Kickstart Configurator chapter).
Comment 2 Petr Bokoc 2014-03-24 14:49:12 UTC 
Apparently s-c-k is deprecated in RHEL7; it's still available, but it hasn't been updated for RHEL7 and there are no plans to do so.

The dedicated chapter for the tool will be removed, and we'll add an admonition into the Kickstart Installations chapter mentioning that the tool is deprecated and that the preferred method for generating Kickstart files is to do a manual install first and using the /root/anaconda.ks file from the installed system with any edits made using a text editor.
