Hey...

This sounds very much like the "create VM" screen, where we already
collect vcpus, VM name, and memory, and display MAC address and
UUID. All we really need for Cobbler integration as far as the UI goes
is a drop-down list of available profiles, added to the "create VM"
screen.

We don't use koan at all, so there's not much sense specifying
arguments for it.

Take care,
