cobbler/cobbler — Issue #29: man page: bash problem

In the man page, the section "DISTRIBUTIONS" contains the example:

--kopts="foo=bar baz=3 asdf !gulp"

Under the bash shell this is poor; the double quotes permit bash to try to process the "!" character. This would be better written with single quotes, which I think is safe, i.e. not shell-interpreted, across all shells:

--kopts='foo=bar baz=3 asdf !gulp'
