A new breed is needed to not let cobbler insert additional kernel options in pxegen.py (line 460) that are not needed and only add confusion. Options that I see being added, but are not usefull for livecd's: - Kssendmac - Syslog - Ks (or Auto and Url for debian) - Lang - Text - Ksdevice The same is for the debian breed, also the RedHat specific ksdevice, kssendmac and syslog options are added.
