[cobbler] Necessity For Using Kickstart

Hi, I am still setting up my Cobbler server (version 2.3.1, and I installed and updated from the Github source). I have added a bunch of distros such as CentOS and Fedora 17. Now I want to put a new hard drive in my laptop and install Fedora 17 to the laptop with Cobbler. I am wondering if I absolutely must use a kickstart file? Suppose I don't asssociate a profile with a kickstart, and then pxeboot my laptop, will I be able to install Fedora 17 "as if" I had put an installation DVD in the DVD drive, and be walked through the entire installation by Anaconda? That is what I would like to do. I do have two kickstart files I used for installing Fedora 14. Perhaps I used these with an older version of cobbler. I'm not sure I remember the passwords embedded in them. Nor am I sure the package names used in Fedora 17 are the same as those in Fedora 14. Thanks Bob Cochran
