Looks good. I've applied this, thanks! I added some additional documentation on how this works to the virtual install instruction part of the manpage (koan.pod in the source checkout). You might want to look that over and see if it's correct. Note to the list -- As we were discussing earlier, koan should not need a --static-interface option when using --replace-self because we embed the kickstart file inside the initrd in that case, so this should only be needed for virtual machines that don't have DHCP available. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
