[ale] running an FC6 Kickstart install?

[Warren Myers]

I can view the ks.cfg file with my browser - so I know it's available. I
also know that the machine is getting an IP address, so finding the server
shouldn't be hard.

The only other thing I can think of is that the tool made something that
won't work correctly. :-/
