Actually, there a couple of ways to get the name of KS config file. It
would be nice if KS itself could use DHCP...

To perform a network-based kickstart installation, you must have a
BOOTP/DHCP server on your network, and it must include
configuration information for the machine on which you are
attempting to install Red Hat Linux. The BOOTP/DHCP server will
provide the client with its networking information as well as the
location of the kickstart file.
If a kickstart file is specified by the BOOTP/DHCP server, the
client system will attempt an NFS mount of the file's path, and
will copy the specified file to the client, using it as the
kickstart
file. The exact settings required vary depending on the BOOTP/DHCP
server you use.
