So star out and create the script.
Inside the script echo your questions and then read the answer to assign it to a variable. Ex:
echo "What is the ip address?"
read ipaddress
What is the gateway address?
read gatewayaddress
What is the hostname?
read hostname
So now you have your answers assigned to variables. Now echo each line of your kickstart file, but instead of the IP address you listed below, now replace it with $ipaddress.
