to install a box i 'add a system' yes and this is given network 
information and all works fine. On the reinstall using koan i pass the 
-p <profilename> so that the box gets rebuilt to a different profile, ie 
in my case different OS version. Is that what you suspect i'm doing and 
is that 'wrong' ?

I am afraid i dont get what you mean regarding passing this to the 
system as when the box is first installed it is assigned to the system?

thanks for any ideas
