Thanks for the reply!

I've just downloaded the latest .tar.gz from
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git and made a .ks
for pt_PT. I used the nl_NL has an example and changed the settings
accordingly. I haven't tested it yet but since there were few changes,
unless there is a typo, it should work.

Tell me if it needs more changes.

I don't use "includes" in my .ks files but I can see the advantages.

Thanks
