Preparing a kickstart file for F9 on an older Fedora

[hakonrk]

Is it possible to use an older Fedora system's system-config-kickstart to prepare a kickstart file for a later version? I tried this on my outdated FC6, but system-config-kickstart dies on startup while retrieving package info with the error included below.

I assume the error happens because FC6 has disappeared from most FTP sites, including whatever site system-config-kickstart tries to use. My question is: Can an old system-config-kickstart be instructed to use the XML databases from later versions (F9?) so that I can prepare a kickstart file for F9 before I actually start installing it?

Thanks in advance for any help!
