1. They won't do anything special for us. They won't boot of
[your_idea_here]. They won't install [your_software_here]. They won't
plug in [your_hardware_here].
2. If I ask them to do anything it is going to cost the same as a new
server setup fee and take a week. I might as well have them do it all
if I have them do anything.

As far as paying for management... I fully agree. But, I'm playing the
hand I've been dealt.

I guess I could have focused the discussion better. Instead of saying
I loosely understand kickstart, I should have asked if it is possible
to remotely setup LVM on a RHEL4 box that you have no physical access
to. That is really what is missing for me.

I look forward to studying those 2 redhat.com kickstart links this weekend.
