Kickstart is a system for automated installation of Red Hat Linux - not for the distribution of Gold images. Instead of answering all the installation questions manually, you put configuation information and packages selection into a file which is read and executed by the installation program.
In this sense, KS is more like Solaris's JumpStart using a sysidcfg configuration file than Solaris's Flash Archive.
