[cobbler] Clarification request.

There's two specific snippets provided with the distribution and I
wanted to make sure I had a clear understanding of their purpose and use.

"kickstart_start" & "kickstart_done"

Their 'ideal' (*cough*) locations are at the very start and very end of
a kickstart process.

Their purpose of the "_start" snippet is to pull the triggers on profile
"pre_install" and system "pre_install" actions and the "_done" snippet
does the corresponding "post_install" for profiles and then systems as
well as other tasks such as handling the pxe once triggering and the
"save kickstart" operation.

Did I miss anything about these?

(I plan to put comments in them for my future reference.)
