Hi Rob.

Cobbler  is responsible for kickstarts and pxe-menu.
Default template is located in /etc/cobbler/pxe/pxedefault.template.

Read the following to understand how to edit the templates:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/kickstart%20templating
http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/docs/users_guide_html/users_guide.html

Also see the documentation for cobbler.
