Katello setting up PXE boot of Centos 7 server using kickstart

Support

Problem:
I’m new to Foreman and I’m trying to setup kickstart to automatically build a Centos 7 image

Expected outcome:
I should be able to generate a kickstart file which gets added to a menu in /var/lib/tftpboot/ppxelinux.cfg/default which will be used to build my hosts. I believe in Spacewalk the kickstart file is automatically generated once selections are chosen from the user interface are but I can’t see this in Foreman. I have tried creating a kickstart file as a test but it didn’t update the PXE config. As a first step I’d be happy if I could just get a basic build built using kickstart without too much customisation.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
3.3

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
Katello 4.5

Distribution and version:
Centos 7.9

My pxelinux is below which gets created after I select “Build PXE default”

I got a base OS install going. Looks like I was missing either content view or lifecycle in my host. Once I set those and selected build it created the pxe config for that MAC.

I still need to create a customised kickstart config and also would like the pxelinux.cfg/default to build the hosts rather than having to pre-create the host in Foreman before I build the host creating a pxe config for each MAC

How would I create a customised kickstart within Foreman?

And is it possible to use the customised kickstart configuration in the pxelinux.cfg/default file rather than creating a kickstart file per host by creating the server in Foreman first?
