This is exactly what I want to do. And I have done the dom0 install with cobbler, too :) Reading the source for koan, it looks like my confusion may have been because I couldn't see where certain things got configured (such as, say, the location of a file used for the domU virtual disk), when in fact they're (partially) hardcoded. One more question (for the moment :) From the code it appears that koan only creates paravirtual domU instances. Is that correct? If not, how do I get it to create a fully virtual domU instance?
