Using Cobbler as part of Spacewalk you should not need to reference the Cobbler documentation unless you are just looking for ways to not use the Spacewalk UI. It is an integral part of Spacewalk, for the most part, though if you have specific questions about deployment/provisioning in Spacewalk context, you should ask here and it's not a Cobbler question, it is a Spacewalk question.

If you are looking to use Cobbler directly (no Spacewalk), read the resources here: http://fedorahosted.org/cobbler, many instructions there may reference features not exposed in Spacewalk , and may not neccessarily all make sense
in Spacewalk context.

If you're just looking to use the cobbler and koan command line tools so you don't have to use the Spacewalk GUI, you can do so by simply running 'man cobbler' and 'man koan'.

Keep in mind many things mentioned in the Cobbler manpage are not exposed in Spacewalk, but it's fine to use commands such as "cobbler distro edit", "cobbler profile edit", "cobbler system edit" and so for. DHCP management, DNS management, power management, repos, images, Cobbler Web, and replication are all examples of things in Cobbler that are not used in Spacewalk at this time.

Everything in koan is supported by Spacewalk except --update-files, which it does not use. That is to say you can use koan to start reinstalls as well as install virtual machines, or list what profiles are available to install remotely.

Hope that helps!
