Ok, so you generally either want system-specific kickstarts or let the
system inherit it from the profile you assign to a system (e.g., to
install that system with that profile (OS)) -- at least, in my
understanding.

What OS are you using? Did you use `cobbler import` to add it? Not every
OS needs ks=. I thought I was being pretty clear when I asked for more
details, but please indicate your full use-case from start to end.

Ok? I'm not sure what this has to do with the issue, but thank you for
clarifying your use-case.

To know what "similar exercises" are, or "best practices" would be, you
*must* provide some actual information. So far, your messages have been
fairly vague.
