Description

The default kickstart template could do with a refresh so it uses more modern system defaults, e.g.

LVM, ext4
or autopart for some OS version agnostic defaults?
%end markers
`services --disabled=`
remove --enablemd5 from authconfig (use SHA-2)

And the pxelinux template:

deprecated boot options, e.g. ksdevice= in F17/18

The release number of the EPEL RPM occasionally changes, so instead of installing it with an exact URL, add a repo and install epel-release in %packages, e.g.

repo --name="Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux" --baseurl="http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/fedora-epel/6/x86_64/"

ksdevice is still useful in EL6, it probably shouldn't be removed from that.

https://github.com/theforeman/community-templates/pull/13 has been merged, the shipped templates should now be updated to match. Don't migrate existing ones, we should just refresh the defaults under app/views/unattended/ for newly migrated installs.
