in addition to not using DHCP the box that i am trying to get cobbler 
running already provisions machines using kickstart over http using a 
bit of a home brew system. I am trying to get rid of this system and use 
cobbler like we do in other environments so from a network level there 
should be no issues getting the install tree over http as it already 
does that and i can get the kickstart etc over http to the client with a 
wget and it looks correct so i am a little stumped.
