Got it, thanks. Seems like it would be helpful to see the parent
options, perhaps displayed in a similar way <<inherit>> is now but
list the value instead as in <<2048>> for your ram example. Keep the
double arrows to mean 'value is inherited'. Just a thought.
Regards,
Corey

Nor should it, see below...

What you see above is the list of parameters /stored/ for the
inherited
profile. If you change any of them, they will no longer use the
values
of the parent.
For instance, you could specify that "test" was the same as your
profile
"Centos4.7-i386" except that it required 2048 ram and used a different
kickstart template.
cobbler profile edit --name=test --virt-ram=1024
--kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/test.ks
