Right now the interface name could be arbitrary, so it seems it would only depend on the magic to set things up right in %post. Does anyone care to take a shot at cleaning up the "post-network-system-config" snippet on the Wiki now? We should make it account for mutliple interfaces first, add it to %post in the default templates, and then we can teach it about bonding once that is established. (Also regarding my earlier web comments, this interface change may prove a reason enough to clean up the webapp in general --- adding multi-interface support is going to be hand without making it more ajaxy anyway. This might make it a little longer between releases but could make for some interesting things. Still evaluating -- I'll chase this while everyone is looking at the networking details, we need them both) --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
