Thanks, Alan. Given what you have, I'll either try to massage mine into
shape or download the DVD images and try again. I built mine by doing:

# cobbler import  --name=F17 --path=rsync://
mirror.umd.edu/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/i386/os --name F17
--arch=i386

which has always worked for me in the past. F17 seems to have change the
rules, though.
