they are. May have to smite those for 2.0 :)
A good list for this type of debugging this type of question is:
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-virt ... have your guest
creation XML from /var/log/koan ready.
If you want to install a specific system or profile, just use the name
of that profile or system. There is no arch flag in koan. You will
want to make sure the arches of your cobbler distros are correct.
