If i got it right 2 things come to mind: a) the cobbler-server handling dhcp for all clients. The altiris clients having an own section in dhcpd.conf, that section having a separate 'next-server' entry that guides only the altiris- clients to fetch the netloader from the altiris-server. Creating the appropriate dhcpd.conf entries for the altiris- clients could probably be done with cobbler. b) Playing with etherboots gPXE. See http://etherboot.org/wiki/commandline - looks like you can present a menu to all clients, and upon selecting an altiris-entry gPXE could again load a pxe-image from the altiris-server. The linux-clients keep getting everything from the cobbler server. Happy hacking ;) Christian _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
