If no usb start network with dhcp and look for Web server linux ks=http://fedora7.<domain from dhcp>/ks.cfg Or maybe linux ks=http://fedora7.<domain from dhcp>/<mac address>.cfg
Why? Why not just use DHCP "nextserver" and "filename" options to get the kickstart file via NFS?
OK. I guess I'm confused by these:

Why is it so hard to add two little line to a DHCP server at work yet so easy at home? I would have to guess that you have a lot of red tape to deal with or something like that.
and they try really hard not to use nfs if possible.
Why? What's wrong with NFS?
Network installs via either HTTP or FTP take longer (i.e. are slower) than via NFS.
