Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to set the inherit option in a profile or system?
# cobbler profile edit --name=CentOS-5.2-i386 --kickstart="<<inherit>>" doesnt work.

That is intended to work on subprofiles and system records only, it doesn't make sense for setting that on a regular profile.
This worked for me:
[mdehaan@mdehaan cobbler]$ sudo cobbler profile edit --name=mine --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sample.ks [mdehaan@mdehaan cobbler]$ sudo cobbler profile edit --name=mine2 --kickstart="<<inherit>>" [mdehaan@mdehaan cobbler]$ sudo cobbler profile report --name=mine2 | grep kickstart kickstart : <<inherit>>
In general, I shouldn't have exposed "<<inherit>>" as a user visible item in the Web app or CLI, such a concept is too abstract to make folks need to understand it -- though setting a kickstart to "" means something else .. it means don't use a kickstart, so I needed to put something in there that wasn't likely to be used as regular text.
Just as a general pointer, "doesn't work" isn't descriptive enough. You need to post what things actually do when they don't work :)
