If you are editing a wizard style kickstart, on the 'System Details" -> Partitioning page, try to enter a snippet: $SNIPPET("/spacewalk/1/snippet") you will get an error: * Invalid partition value removed: $SNIPPET"/spacewalk/1/snippet". Please verify the input values and resubmit. I think two things are happening here. the ')', '(' characters are being stripped and we are validating the input to make sure it's a valid partitioning command. We need to change this to allow snippets.
