Yes, systemd has taken over and you set the display manager by enabling it. So your systemctl enable slim.service should do it assuming there is a systemd target file for slim. > 2.

Just take your rpms and put them in a web accessible directory, cd to that directory and run "createrepo .". Of course you need to have createrepo installed for that to work. Then just add a reference for your new repo in your kickstart file just like your other repos... and then add your packages to your package list. If you don't have a webserver handy you can do it on the same system with a file:// reference I think.
