Well, originally, it was something independent. Basically you can have a menu launch another menu with syslinux, and this is what that would be doing. However: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/syslinux/announce/9394 This makes me want to investigate further. Either way, we do carry a syslinux with the cobbler RPM so you can deploy x86/x86_64 from other arches (as unlikely as that is), so we could include a newer version as needed without making requirements to use a specific distro for the cobbler server. That's what we do now to avoid the same, particularly as things like EL 4 have a older syslinux, than, say, F10. > Glenn Bailey wrote: > >>> I'm thinking it could be done like this: >>> >>> cobbler distro edit --name=foo --menu-path="alpha/beta" >>> cobbler profile add --name=bar --name=baz >>> >>> This would add generate baz at the menu level alpha/beta/foo/bar >>> >>> Because distro is intended with "alpha/beta". >>> >> That would make sense, with the "/" being the divider?
