Is the need simply for manual PXE boot options? If my brain cells are working correctly (it's been several months since I worked with this) you can build your own custom/template PXE menu (just don't let Cobbler tinker with it...) If I understand then: - you build a generic OS install - you fetch serial #s and then - customize install during post-kickstart processing? Is it faster to build your serial number list than to build a list of MAC addresses? Do you manually build your system list? or is everything auto-magic? (i.e. everything is 'discovered' during PXE boot) :) Dale _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
