You will need accessibility to the cobbler server. The kernel/initrd do 
appear on the ISO but that is it.

Yep. I'd be interested in seeing that, though I suspect at that point 
where you are really doing is taking a distro CD
and putting a ks= URL into the default kernel options and rebuilding it. 
Seems doable from what data
cobbler has imported, however (maybe), which would be better than 
keeping the ISOs around.
