Ihara,

This looks very interesting!

A few procedural notes:

(A)  Patches for major features always need to be applied against the 
devel branch, so I will need this rebased against that.

(B)  I am not sure about adding "onesis" as a first class cobbler 
object.  This means that it needs to show up in the Web UI and command 
lists, manpage, and so forth, and in general, I don't want users too 
overburdened with too many first class objects.  Perhaps it would be 
possible to keep that code as "/usr/bin/onesys-setup" as a seperate 
script/package?    This seems reasonable as you only have to run that 
command once and the other distros/profiles do not seem to reference the 
"cobbler onesis" produced data again on the cobbler server. The rest of 
the features seem like they can be used with mainstream Cobbler -- which 
is of course excellent that it did not require further modifications.

(C)  I'd really LOVE to have docs on this on the Wiki.  Can you add them 
under "User Documentation"?   You will need an account at 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts (these are very easy to apply 
for) and the Wiki is at http://fedorahosted.org/cobbler

Feel free to disagree with the above suggestions, just looking over 
"onesis.patch" I did not see much in the script that referenced over 
cobbler API's, so it seems a good candidate for a seperate bash/python 
script that we could perhaps host on the Wiki.   Perhaps I did not fully 
understand it.

Neat stuff though, thanks for sharing and let me know what you think 
about the above!

--Michael
