Subject: Re: [cobbler] How to PXE boot F17 now?
For completeness' sake, this allowed me to get into the
installer
(which for some reason only let me choose text mode or VNC, even
though I was at a workstation. Go figure). Basically, I added
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/i386/os/
as the inst.repo value and voila!
Name : F17-PAE-i386
Architecture : i386

Thanks, Scot and Alan for your help.
