Okay. I have a laptop here which really can PXE boot, and it has a

new, bare 160 Gb hard drive in it. I wish to use cobbler to install
Fedora 11 on it, either the i386 or the PAE-i386, whichever flavor the
machine can accept.
After PXE booting successfully, I can see this blue-colored text-based
screen:
Cobbler |

(local)
Fedora11-PAE-i386
Fedora11-i386
rescue-Fedora11-PAE-i386
rescue-Fedora11-i386
Press [Tab] to edit options
And there is a white selection bar at the (local) option.
My question is, what do I do next to get a Fedora install started? If I
move the white selection bar down to "Fedora11-PAE-i386" and then press
the<enter> key nothing happens. If I press the<tab> key I see a long
boot incantation. But pressing<enter> seems to do nothing there, too.
Obviously I have missed reading documentation somewhere. Is there a wiki
page that tells me how to get an actual install started?
Thanks!

I have significant new information based on checking the server
machine's logs. The cobblerd server is a Fedora 11 x86_64 machine
running under SELinux enforcing mode, and it looks like SELinux is
unhappy about tftp. Go here

to see photos of my install attempt plus the /var/log/messages entries.
