Of course, cobalt hardware is more or less standard  hardware, with the
one notable exception that it doesn't have a standard pc BIOS, you so
need to be carefull with the boot/lilo setup, you can toast the rest if
you want, cobalt really uses plain redhat packages as it is, the .pkg
format is just to help manage groups of rpm's...there's no reason you
can't toast the GUI and use rpm to put whatever packages on it you want..

The lack of a floppy can be a pita tho -/
