Not a problem.  I was only using it because it was referenced in the Red
Hat documentation as a way to troubleshoot.  Based on what I found over
the weekend, the answer is that running "cobbler profile getks" returns
the generated final result.  In my particular case, the original attempt
would show the $SNIPPET() lines in their unexpanded form because of the
implicit #raw/#end raw that is wrapped around the %post script.  To get
the kickstart with _expanded_ $SNIPPETS, you need to check the template
checkbox on the script's edit page so that the cheetah parser can see
the snippet code.

I have a bit of a tirade about the details in another post ;-)

Thanks.
