I guess you should just pxeboot the netboot.iso?

Subject: [cobbler] Necessity For Using Kickstart

Hi,

I am still setting up my Cobbler server (version 2.3.1, and I installed
and updated from the Github source). I have added a bunch of distros
such as CentOS and Fedora 17. Now I want to put a new hard drive in my
laptop and install Fedora 17 to the laptop with Cobbler.

I am wondering if I absolutely must use a kickstart file? Suppose I
don't asssociate a profile with a kickstart, and then pxeboot my laptop,
will I be able to install Fedora 17 "as if" I had put an installation
DVD in the DVD drive, and be walked through the entire installation by
Anaconda? That is what I would like to do.

I do have two kickstart files I used for installing Fedora 14. Perhaps I
used these with an older version of cobbler. I'm not sure I remember the
passwords embedded in them. Nor am I sure the package names used in
Fedora 17 are the same as those in Fedora 14.

Thanks

Bob Cochran
