Answer the 4 questions and "ls" your directory, you'll see a ks.cfg file
This is a very basic solution, there's so many possiblities, you can verify the user input to check to see if the values are valid, like if they enter an IP for hostname or vice versa, check DNS to see if these IPs resolve before using them in the kickstart, use regular expression to verify the user input, if its invalid you can loop to verify they enter something useful, I mean you can write a pretty complicated script to generate your ks.cfg file.
