To save the kickstart file, select File => Save File or press [Ctrl]-[S]. A file dialog box will appear to allow you to select where to save the file.

After saving the file, create a boot diskette from boot.img for CD-ROM installations or bootnet.img for network installations. Copy the kickstart file (ks.cfg) on the boot diskette. Boot from the diskette and type linux ks=floppy to start the kickstart installation. To learn about different methods for starting a kickstart installation refer to the Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide.
