Well, I got a python exception. Will see if I can regenerate it.

That is intended to work on subprofiles and system records only, it
doesn't make sense for setting that on a regular profile.

This worked for me:

[mdehaan@mdehaan cobbler]$ sudo cobbler profile edit --name=mine
--kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sample.ks
[mdehaan@mdehaan cobbler]$ sudo cobbler profile edit --name=mine2
--kickstart="<<inherit>>"
[mdehaan@mdehaan cobbler]$ sudo cobbler profile report --name=mine2 |
grep kickstart
kickstart            : <<inherit>>

In general, I shouldn't have exposed "<<inherit>>" as a user visible
item in the Web app or CLI, such a concept is too abstract to make folks
need to understand it -- though setting a kickstart to "" means
something else .. it means don't use a kickstart, so I needed to put
something in there that wasn't likely to be used as regular text.

Just as a general pointer, "doesn't work" isn't descriptive enough.  You
need to post what things actually do when they don't work :)
