When you are on the:

Systems|Kickstart|Distributions" and select "+ create new distribution"

page .. what error do you get when you submit the form?  Any messages in 
the GUI?

What did you fill in for each field?

The Kickstart Distribution can only use a 'Base Channel' to use as the 
basis for the operating system you are choosing to install.   Child 
channels can be activated in the Kickstart Profile you create with the 
Kickstart Distribtuion.
