It already leaves this message behind in the kickstart file when the snippet is not found
(cobbler-2.0.5-1.el5);
# Error: no snippet data for foo

Yes, I saw that in my tests today.
I would still like to be able to check if a snippets file exists.
Alternately, have some way to choose, individually for each snippet, the
behavior of Cobbler when it encounters a missing snippet.
One way or another, if a snippet that is critical to my kickstart
expectations doesn't exist, I would like Cobbler (getks/validateks) to
abort with an error (see recent thread "How to force failure").
If a snippet is not critical, I would like Cobbler to say nothing, so that
there are no extraneous "Error" messages when checking getks output.

I believe the snippet code will simply not do anything if the snippet
you include doesn't exist. If not, I think we should do that. Perhaps
leaving behind a '#SNIPPET foo not found'.
