All I'm pleading for is for cobbler allowing to #include the
parent
kickstart file and the least that is needed if the location of it. See
my original post and the external workaround I'm using to locate it
and to pass as a variable back to cobbler.
If it includes the parent kickstart file and it's syntactically correct
in the context of what is included, that means the parent profile isn't
installable, and thus isn't really a kickstart.
That's what was bothering me.
It seems like something is being done wrong if that use case is required.
