The ris-linux stuff has been merged into devel, but it is a bit rough around the edges. You still have to do a lot of things manually like configure samba, tftpd, and the binlserver, but a winXP CD should import fine once that's all done. I don't have a 2k3 CD at my disposal, so I haven't tested that, and I think my XP CD is pre-SP1 too so if yours is SP1/SP2 there may be some issue there that I didn't run into. My goal was to get the basics in for importing, and let people hack away on it smoothing away the rough edges, so don't expect this to be supported until 1.6 at the earliest. I've been promising a wiki page for a couple of weeks... I really need to get on that so keep bugging me about it :) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
