Cobbler is particularly nice, it’s an automagic provisioning service for boxes. It should make provisioning of the 20 PS3s and associated workstations much easier. Furthermore, it’ll allow me to manage and maintain the software over time. So I may have a PS3-bare-metal config and an Intel-core-games-workstation config. It’s much more work than I want to do, but in the long run it’s easier than depending on the existing services. Essentially, to get one lab up and running I’ll have to fork most of the network services. [...]

How can cobbler and koan be used to upgrade existing Red Hat 4 machines towards Red Hat 5?

I need some info on using cobbler. Could you please help me on this.
My main idea is to install Fedora 7 over raw machines over the network. All machines do have PXE boot support. Now we have machine “A” over which TFTP Server, name Server,web server run.Machine “A” also has images of Fedora 7. The DHCP server runs on another machine “B” in the network. I have installed cobbler on the machine “A” configured it and added a distribution to cobbler. Now there are a couple of raw machines on which I want to install F7. But as mentioned in the tutorial as well as in this article I didnt find while booting, either boot prompt or place where I could type “menu” and then choose a Cobbler profile to install from the menu.

Could you please help me in this regard or guide me to some article where I could get some information on how to go about.
Thanks & Regards,
Viswanath T K
