I've looked at it, especially the parts that try to restore
hostname/sid information. It does look a bit cumbersome to setup and I
manage similar things with booting linux off pxe and using ntfsclone.

Is it possible to boot into cobbler/anaconda and skip the package
selection part? E.g. only have custom scripts %post applied like
ntfsclone from an nfs share?
