[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart and registration

[Jonas Bygdén]

What I *really* want to know is where the templates are that constructs the
kickstart-file to begin with.

If I create a new kickstart profile, there's a base file created magically.
This has to come from somewhere, probably a template - where is that, and
can I edit it to fit my needs?
