Yes, fullvirt installs for koan need PXE capability, so your guests (the 
pieces that run koan) would need to be F8 for Fedora ... not entirely
sure what RHEL contains/will-contains this.   I may do something to make 
tracking/transferance of the rescue CD image easier to allow this usage 
on older distros, but right now you need a version of the tools that 
supports kicking of Xen installs over PXE for FV (unless it's KVM, where 
that's not required).

We don't care about the Cobbler OS in that case, just the koan OS.
