 For example, we have this block:

 if $is_service_node; then
    cat > /etc/chef/solo.rb << EOF
 file_cache_path "/var/tmp/chef-solo"
 role_path "/var/tmp/chef-solo/roles"
 data_bag_path "/var/tmp/chef-solo/bags"
 cookbook_path "/var/tmp/chef-solo/cookbooks"

 json_attribs "https://server/path/to/$solo_name"
 recipe_url "https://server/path/to/cookbooks.tar.gz"
 EOF

 When used as a normal snippet, cobbler (or rather, cheetah) just leaves that alone and prints out $solo_name (with the $) in the kickstart. However, when used as per-system, I have to change that line to \$solo_name.  Very odd.
