Hi,
The 'cobbler buildiso' function also addresses this by making a boot
cd that you can boot from and then choose the profile you want to
install.
Good docs are in the wiki and man pages on buildiso.
Yours,

Thank you. This looks very usefull. On another note, when using the
Cobbler Gui, its not always clear whats being asked for. I will
input kernel location, etc and then get an error, but it gives no
indication whats wrong. And the other thing I wonder about, does
Cobbler just set up part of the kickstart environment? I don't see
anywhere to set up exports. Thanks.

Greg,
I have to take this approach with an older machine my daughter has. I
use gPXE, which you can find at
http://etherboot.org/wiki/index.php
and after the initial boot, it does a fully automated install quite
wonderfully. I just upgraded her machine via a re-install from FC9 to
FC12 with less than a dozen keystrokes. :)

> I am browsing the docs on Cobbler and everything seems to refer to
kickstating a machine using pxe boot. I have machines that don't
have that capability. Can I use the setup to boot off a cd and then
start the installation? Thanks.
