  Thanks, Michael.  Through trail and error I discovered that Cobbler/Koan
did not like me using a DNS name for the system name to build a Xen VM. 
When I used a MAC address for the system it worked just fine.  I should
have yielded to the advice in the man pages and just used a MAC.
  Also, thanks for the heads up on 0.6.0.  Along with the bug fixes it
looks to have some neat features including an increased number of
builtin variables, along with the kickstart snippets that I can use for
kickstart templates.  When will 0.6.0 be moved over to the standard EPEL
repo?
