Clean Up the Pidora Kickstart File

Project Description

The kickstart file allows Pidora to be installed with the pre-setup configuration, unattended. The goal of this project is to prevent the unnecessary packages from being installed, which contributes the small storage maximization. Also, by configuring SELinux in the kickstart file, it will boost up the booting speed of Pidora that is not as powerful as the regular computer is.
