Currently no.

IIRC the code used by the wizard software are not Cobbler templates, so 
the wizard isn't as simple as a Cheetah template that has all the 
answers as --ks-meta variables and such.

I think it would be very slick if they were, but that may also mean all 
the %posts and things that people fill in would need to be made into 
snippets.   (Something like per_profile and per_system snippets exist in 
Cobbler and could, in theory, be used for this).   --ks-meta isn't 
really meant for storing multiline data (it would make it hard to edit)

I'm just speculating though, there may be other factors involved.
