With "cobbler distro add", it is possible to use --breed=debian to make it work with preseed files. I am told if you can make Ubuntu's "kickseed" to work you do not need to use --breed. Cobbler has been installed successfully on Debian in the past. Since Ubuntu is largely just Debian with better marketing and less openness, it should be doable with no further complications :) In all fairness, we are just as interested in those users. So, if you install it, what doesn't work? "cobbler repo add" and "cobbler import" will not work yet, but the basic boot infrastructure should. I will gladly take patches for that support for those should someone want to contribute it, as I do have an interest in seeing Cobbler deployed to Debian based distros as Cobbler seems to be being compared favourably to FAI. If someone also would like to package Cobbler on Debian and maintain it, that is also interesting. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
