Typically you tell koan what profile/system record you want to install, 
then koan fetches the data on that profile/system from the cobbler 
server you specify with --server.

If you use --autodetect-system it will ask the cobbler server if a 
system has been configured with one of the matching MAC addresses, which 
is useful if you want to write a generic reinstall script.
