What outcome are you trying to achieve?
If you let us know, we might be able to find another solution, or either concentrate on helping you build your Kickstart file.

I do notice that the Kickstart file is told to start X, but you are also installin KDE (which is Wayland)

May I ask, is this Kickstart file AI generated?

The URLs for pre-releases and releases are different.
The difference is not limited to the release number.
