This is a neat trick... while you could just serve up the kickstart in question over http:// already, the IP address autodetection allows for having one boot image for multiple cobbler system entries, and have them discovered automatically.
In Cobbler 0.5.0, for those unfamiliar, you can do:

cobbler system add --name=xyz1234--mac=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF --ip=192.168.5.10 --profile=foo1 cobbler system add --name=xyz1235 --mac=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:EE --ip=192.168.5.11 --profile=foo2

and in this case, the same modified rescue disk image could reinstall the system appropriately depending on the recognized IP. 192.168.5.10 when booted would get "foo1" and 192.168.5.11 could get "foo2". Nice.

This gets us to most of where we want to be going with the full-on Live CD -- which would probably additionally offer:
(A)  automatic MAC address detection in addition to IP detection
(B) having one boot image for all distributions (the above requires a distribution-specific image)

I'll include this in 0.5.1 ... if the full-on Live CD makes some of this redundant, it won't hurt anything -- and more importantly, it's already
available :)
