Hi All.

I'm setting up my first cobbler server, and I've done something stupid.
I've had a search round, but I can't find what I need. I'm sure one of you
gurus can show me the error of my ways :-)

My cobbler server is one on network, and my target box is on another. I
have a sequence of routers inbetween, and I can get data from one box to
the other.

I imported a Fedora distribution DVD into the cobbler server & added a
system.  My profiles show up like this:

[...@goliath ~]$ sudo cobbler list profiles
distro Fedora8-i386
   profile Fedora8-i386
      system IndiaMockup
   profile rescue-Fedora8-i386
distro Fedora8-xen-i386
   profile Fedora8-xen-i386

I built a boot CD with the buildiso command, and that CD boots the target
box. The target box requests the profile from the cobbler server, and gets
it back. This is where things go wrong...

The profile file initially was empty except for two comments about leaving
it empty for unattended operation (which is what I'm trying to achieve).
I've tried a couple of things in there - none of them useful.

Whatever I've tried so far, the target box just ends up asking me what
language I'd like to use for installation - it doesn't ask for (or
receive) the kickstart file I created (which is in the list on the cobbler
server).

Can someone put me out of my misery?

Thanks!

Vic.
