Clean Up the Pidora Kickstart File

As of Nov. 18 / 2013, this page has been updated for the project description, its details, and project news.

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.
